Foreword
Nigh on a century after Karl Terzaghi published his epoch-making book“Erdbaumechanik auf bodenphysikalischer Grundlage” in 1925, geotechnicalengineering has developed from its infancy to a full-fledged engineering discipline.Europe is the cradle of modern soil mechanics and geotechnical engineering. Theold continent still hosts the finest researchers, engineers, contractors, and manu-facturers in geotechnical engineering. However, the construction activities, as thedriving force for research and innovation, have subsided considerably in Europe. Amajor player in the construction sector is China with its huge domestic market aswell as its ambitious Belt and Road Initiative abroad. For many years, China has themost construction activities of the world with such impressive infrastructure pro-jects such as the Three Gorges Dam, South–North Water Transport, High-SpeedRailway. This conference will link the birthplace of modern soil mechanics with thecountry with most construction and research activities in geotechnical engineering.It offers a welcoming opportunity to take stock of the state-of-the-art practice andthe current research trends in China, Europe, and beyond.
The responses following our call for papers were overwhelming and echoed wellbeyond China and Europe. We have received about 400 papers from 35 countries,which make this conference a truly international event. The contributions in thisproceedings cover virtually all areas of geotechnical engineering including con-stitutive model; numerical simulation; micro–macro relationship; laboratory testing;monitoring, instrumentation, and field test; foundation engineering; undergroundconstruction; innovative geomaterials; environmental geotechnics; cold regionsgeotechnical engineering; transportation and hydraulic engineering; unsaturatedsoils in waste management and CO2 storage; geohazards–risk assessment, miti-gation, and prevention. The proceedings provide an excellent overview of thecurrent geoengineering research and practice in China, Europe, and beyond.

Abstract. Granular soils usually possess inherent fabric anisotropy due tonatural deposition or compaction, leading to the dependence of peak shearstrength on loading direction. In order to describe this strength anisotropy, a novelaniso-tropic strength variable Λ, which is determined by stress tensor and fabricorientation, is introduced to measure the “distance” between the bedding planeand the maximum shear stress ratio plane. Incorporation of this variable in thetraditional Mohr-Coulomb criterion allows for the description of strength aniso‐tropy. The new anisotropic formulation needs only one extra parameter. Valida‐tion against test results shows that the formulation has good capability indescribing the anisotropic strength.
Keywords: Anisotropy · Strength criterion · Granular soil
1 Introduction
Natural deposition or compaction always lead to the anisotropic characteristics of gran‐ular soils. Anisotropy in strength has been observed in both physical experiments [1, 2]and numerical simulation [3, 4].
Classical isotropic strength criteria such as Mohr-Coulomb criterion, Matsuoka-Nakai criterion [5] and Lade-Duncan criterion [6] does not reflect the anisotropic feature.To formulate an anisotropic strength criterion, there are generally two methods. Oneway is to directly introduce the angle between the bedding plane and a specific stressplane, such as potential shear plane [3] or “spatially mobilized plane” [7]. This approachis straight forward, but the calculation is complicated when the stress tensor is axisym‐metric and there are infinite such stress planes. The other disadvantage is that the angleis usually not a continuous function of the stress tensor. The second method is to includejoint invariants of stress tensor and a fabric tensor [8, 9] or use a modified stress tensor[10] in the strength criterion. Guaranteeing objectivity automatically, the second methodis mathematically elegant, but suffers the disadvantage of lacking physical meaning, andmay need more parameters to depict the anisotropic strength accurately.
This study aims at developing an anisotropic Mohr-Coulomb criterion (AMC) withsimplicity and clear physical meaning. An anisotropic strength variable Λ is introduced

and used to extend Mohr-Coulomb criterion to become anisotropic. The proposed AMCcriterion is validated against test results.
2 Anisotropic Variable and Anisotropic Mohr-Coulomb Criterion
Existing test results [1–4] show that the peak strength usually decreases first and thenincreases with the increase of δ, which is the angle between the axis of the maximumprincipal stress and the normal direction of the bedding plane, and the peak strengthreaches its minimum value when δ is around 60°. Hence, it is postulated that anisotropicgranular soil obtains its minimum peak shear strength when the bedding plane coincideswith the plane of maximum shear stress ratio. Such a postulate is a reasonable assumptionfor friction dominated granular soil. To describe the relationship between the two planes,a novel anisotropic strength variable (ASV) Λ is proposed [11] (Fig. 1):
𝛬 ≡
√(𝜎msr − 𝜎bed
)2+
(𝜏msr − 𝜏bed
)2
𝜎3
(1)
where σ3 is the minimum principal stress, σmsr, τmsr and σbed, τbed denote the normal stressand shear stress on the plane of maximum shear stress ratio and the bedding plane,respectively. Λ measures the “distance” between the two planes and is equal to 0 whenthe two planes coincide.
Fig. 1. The anisotropic strength variable Λ’s definition
Thus, the anisotropic Mohr-Coulomb criterion (AMC) can be proposed as:
𝜎1
𝜎3= kf 0 + a𝛬 (2)
where kf0 represents the minimum strength and a represents the intensity of anisotropy.Both parameters can be conveniently and accurately calibrated with 3 sets of test datausing a least square fit method.
The AMC can be validated against existing test data on granular soils. Figure 2 showsthe comparison between the test results and the prediction of AMC criterion. It is shownthat the proposed AMC criterion is capable of capturing the strength anisotropy ofdifferent anisotropic granular materials.

A Simple Anisotropic Mohr-Coulomb Strength Criterion 5
The anisotropic strength criterion is governed by the two parameters. As shown inFig. 3, the material with a greater kf0 also has a greater minimum peak strength, and thematerial with a greater a has stronger anisotropic intensity.
3 Concluding Remarks
Based on the postulate that anisotropic granular soil obtains its minimum peak shearstrength when the bedding plane coincides with the plane of maximum shear stress ratio,a novel anisotropic strength variable (ASV) is introduced to reflect the influence of theloading direction on the peak strength of such material. The ASV is introduced in theMohr-Coulomb criterion, extending it to become anisotropic, which is referred to asAMC. The proposed formulation only introduces one extra parameter compared to theexisting isotropic strength criterion, which can be calibrated conveniently. Validationshows good agreement between the predicted values using AMC and measured resultsfrom existing tests. The method of formulating the AMC can also readily be used toextend other classical isotropic criteria to become anisotropic with great simplicity andclarity.

Abstract. Introducing the fabric tensor to reflect the distribution of the skeletonof the granular material, the real stress and the equivalent stress of the skeletonare obtained. A generalized method of anisotropic transformation of the isotropicconstitutive model into an anisotropic one is proposed with the true stress of soilskeleton described by the equivalent stress and the mechanical properties of skel‐etons described by the isotropic constitutive models. Taking the Cam-Clay modelas an example, the anisotropic transformed Cam-Clay model is built and verifiedby existing test results.

1 Introduction
Geomaterials is a system composed of a large number of discrete particles which usuallyhave a special assembly. Therefore, it often shows the mechanical properties of aniso‐tropy. In general, to describe this property, various kinds of anisotropy parameters areused to modify isotropic constitutive models [1]. However, the theoretical basis of suchmodification is not rigorous, which made the modified models complicated and poorlyapplicable. In this paper, based on theoretical analysis of the effective stress, the truestress of soils is discussed. Then, a general form of the true stress is proposed by tensoranalysis. Finally, with the idea of stress transformation, an anisotropic constitutivemodel is established and verified by the existing test data.
2 Effective Stress and Equivalent Stress
2.1 Effective Stress
The saturated soil is a typical two-phase material. The soil-skeleton, which is composedof interconnected soil particles, can bear and pass the effective stress. Soil particles andwater are assumed to be incompressible. Therefore, the deformation and strength of soilare the deformation and strength of soil-skeleton. In general, the effective stress is putforward to represent the average stress carried by the soil skeleton [2], which follows
