Abstract
- Soils are known to be inherently anisotropic, resulting in complex responses to loading. This paper aims to develop an elastoplastic solution for the undrained expansion of a cylindrical cavity in sands adopting a non‐associated and anisotropic model, SANISAND. The rigorous derivation of the stress‐strain state of the soil element is provided following a standardized solving procedure. The dilatancy and crushing of the soil are invoked in the three‐dimensional cavity expansion solution by adopting the critical state soil mechanics and limiting compression curve, respectively. By combining this with a governing equation that considers the undrained condition, the stress‐strain state of the surrounding soil around the cavity can be determined. A subroutine is then implemented into the ABAQUS FEM simulation to verify the solution. The solutions are also validated against those based on an isotropic model, and anisotropic sand is used to investigate the effects of the initial effective mean stress, at‐rest coefficient of earth pressure, and overconsolidation ratio on the stress distribution, stress path, and boundary surfaces.
