Abstract

The concept of linary-medium model based on quasi-continuous medium was proposed by Shen Zhujiang who conceptualized geological materials as binary structural bodies consisting of bonding elements and frictional elements. From the viewpoint of mesomechanics, the elastoplastic constitutive of binary medium for soils is derived by Eshelby eigenstrain self-consistent method considering compatibility of strain and continuity of stress between bonding elements and frictional elements. The constitutive model we give can reflect the influence on mechanics performances of structural soils caused by shape of bonding elements (frictional elements), breakage law, stress history, and state of stress, etc.
