Ascribing doubting as respects making use of the CY Model in FLAC3D so as to mimic the behavior of clayey soil in the seismic analysis to being utilized the friction hardening in the aforesaid soil constitutive model based on the UBCSAND model subsequent to perusing the paper entitled “NON-ASSOCIATED PLASTICITY FOR SOILS, CONCRETE AND ROCK”. In short, are we allowed to exploit the friction hardening for clay? Additionally, is it rational to have the friction hardening and the cohesion hardening instantaneously?
