Abstract
Strains in soils are predominantly non-recoverable and it is therefore appropriate to look towards plastic theory to provide a description of stress strain behaviour. A condition favourable to this approach involving a stress-strain law relating stress to strain increment for granular (non-cohesive) soils was illustrated by Roscoe, Basset, and Cole (1967). They demonstrated in simple shear tests with monotonically increasing loads on Leighton Buzzard sand that the principal axes of strain increment coincided closely with the principal axes of stress over all but the initial (low stress) stages of the tests.
