Barcelona Basic Model
Full law name : ALONSO-GENS BBM
An elasto-plastic constitutive law for saturated or partially saturated soils based on the CAMCLAY-type model.
It can take into account:
This law is used for mechanical analysis of saturated and partially saturated elasto-plastic isotropic porous media undergoing suction changes.
