Abstract

The influence of stress history on the flow rule exhibited by anisotropically and normally consolidated clay samples has been investigated. Based on the experimental results a general equation for the flow rule, incorporating the effects of stress history, has been formulated. The flow rule suggested by Burland is shown to be a special case of the general equation formulated.
