Andrzej Truty ZACE Services Hardening Soil model with small strain stiffness
Introduction
Hardening Soil (HS) and Hardening Soil-small (HS-small)models are designed to reproduce basic phenomena exhibitedby soils:
densificationstiffness stress dependencyplastic yieldingdilatancystrong stiffness variation with growing shear strain amplitudein the regime of small strains (γ = 10−6 to γ = 10−3)this phenomenon plays a crucial role for modeling deepexcavations and soil-structure interaction problems
NB. This model is limited to monotonic loads
Andrzej Truty ZACE Services Hardening Soil model with small strain stiffness
Introduction
HS model was initially formulated by Schanz, Vermeer andBonnier (1998, 1999) and then enhanced by Benz (2006)
Current implementation is slightly modified with respect tothe theory given by Benz:
simplified treatment of dilatancy for the small strain version(HS-small)modified hardening law for preconsolidation pressure
This model seems to be one of the simplest in the class ofmodels designed to handle small strain stiffness
It consists of the two plastic mechanisms, shear and volumetric
Small strain stiffness is incorporated by means of nonlinearelasticity which includes hysteretic effects

Remarks
1 Stiffness degrades with decreasing σ3 up to σ3 = σL (bydefault we assume σL=10 kPa)

Extension to small strain: new ingredients
To extend standard HS model to the range of small strain Benzintroduced few modifications:
1 Strain dependency is added to the stress-strain relation, forstress paths penetrating the elastic domain
2 The modified Hardin-Drnevich relationship is used to relatecurrent secant shear modulus G and equivalent monotonicshear strain γhist
3 Reversal points are detected with aid of deviatoric strainhistory second order tensor Hij ; in addition the currentequivalent shear strain γhist is computed by using this tensor

Remarks
1 KSRo = KNC
o ≈ 1− sin(φ) in the standard applications(approximate Jaky’s formula)
2 KSRo = 1 for case of isotropic consolidation (used in triaxial
testing for instance)
3 For sands notion of preconsolidation pressure is not asmeaningful as for cohesive soils hence one may assumeOCR=1 and effect of density will be embedded in H and Mparameters

We can use Alpans diagram to deduce E refur once we know
E refo (default is

this value is larger
For oedometric modulus at the reference stress σref = 100kPa we can assume E ref

Conclusions
Model properly reproduces strong stiffness variation with shearstrain
It can be used in simulations of soil-structure interactionproblems
Implementation is ”rather heavy”
It should properly predict deformations near the excavations
Model reduces excessive heavings at the bottom of theexcavation
