Resumen
Un algoritmo de integracin implcita ha sido desarrollado para simular el comportamiento esfuerzo-deformacin
de suelos no saturados bajo estados de esfuerzo multi-axiales y succin controlada. El algoritmo admite anlisis
numricos en un plano octahdrico utilizando el modelo generalizado de Cam-Clay, e incorporando una tercera
invariante de esfuerzo (Lode-angle ) dentro de un esquema de succin constante. Los resultados obtenidos a
partir de una serie de ensayos multi-axiales realizados en arena limosa bajo suction controlada fueron utilizados
para llevar a cabo la calibracin del modelo y los ajustes necesarios al algoritmo desarrollado. Las predicciones
numricas logran reproducir, con un razonable margen de error, los datos experimentales obtenidos.
Abstract
An implicit integration algorithm has been developed to simulate stress-strain response of unsaturated soils under
suction-controlled multi-axial stress states. The algorithm supports numerical analyses in the octahedral plane by
using a Generalized Cam-Clay model framework and incorporating a third stress invariant (Lode-angle ) within a
constant-suction scheme. True triaxial data from a series of constant-suction multi-axial tests on silty sand have
been used for model calibration purposes and for the tuning of the developed algorithm. Reasonably good
agreement was observed between experimental and predicted soil responses.

7. CONCLUDING REMARKS
Suction-controlled true triaxial tests were able
to reproduce key features of silty sand behavior
under multi-axial stress states at constant suction
conditions. Implicit integration predictions show
good agreement with experimental q response,
including the compressive and expansive nature
of principal strain response.
The experimental values of deviator stress q
at critical state condition (peak) were observed to
be slightly higher than predicted ones, which can
be partly attributed to the stress-controlled nature
of the multi-stage testing scheme followed in this
research work.
Predictions using the Willam-Warnke function
g(,c) with constant "c" ratio in compression and
extension, show good agreement with observed
response in three-invariant stress space (p:q:). A
linear relationship can be devised for changes in
bonding stress o(s) with matric suction.
The agreement between numerical predictions
and observed behavior of compacted silty sand
underlines the potential of the developed implicit
algorithm to facilitate more elaborate analytical
solutions in boundary-value problems involving
soil deposits that oscillate under various partially
saturated states as the climatic conditions vary
throughout the year.
