Foreword
Soil, whether it be this natural material used for a foundation or an artificial material used for roads and dams, behaves in such highly complex ways given its polyphasic nature that it is difficult to always model its behaviour with accuracy and dependency. In the geotechnical field, serious accidents occur from shortcomings of initial design because the engineer has not fully appreciated the vital relationship between building strategies and soil behaviour. Therefore, at stake from the beginning of an engineering project is the selection of the appropriate constitutive soil model capable of analysing globally the geotechnical construction system. A great number of models can be
