title = "Numerical Analysis of Cellular Geosynthetic-Reinforced Soil Using a Hypoplastic Constitutive Model",
abstract = "The selection of a proper constitutive model for soil is crucial in the numerical analysis of geosynthetic-reinforced soils. An ideal constitutive model should be able to capture the soil's improved properties due to the lateral constraint provided by the geosynthetics. In recent years, a special class of constitutive models based the hypoplasticity theory has gained an increasing popularity. This paper explores the feasibility of modeling the behavior of a geosynthetic-reinforced soil using a hypoplastic constitutive model recently developed by Weifner and Kolymbas. Both static and cyclic triaxial load responses were considered. It was found that the selected hypoplastic model was able to describe the soil's stress dependency, strain softening, dilatancy, and the progressive plastic deformation behavior under a cyclic load. The numerical model showed improved performance of the geosynthetic-reinforced soil under both static and cyclic loads.",
