عنوان مقاله English
The specific volume as one of fundamental parameters in soil mechanics has a great effect on the volume-weight relationships in soils. In this paper, for better modeling the shear strength of soils the effect of this parameter due to the obligation and consistency of the thermo-dynamical principles is discussed and incorporated in the formulation. Based on the thermodynamics principles, volume changes and dilatancy of soil samples must be modified by considering the specific volume. The dissipation by regarding the specific volume is incorporated into the formulation of peak shear strength for the Cam-Clay failure surface. Verification with experimental tests reveals the validity of the proposed formulation.
