Abstract
Describes the recent concept of equivalent time and how it can be used in a revised version of an earlier elastic viscoplastic model for one-dimensional straining of clays. The model can describe one-dimensional stress or strain responses under general conditions that include multistage loading with creep straining, continuous loading, and unloading or reloading. It also describes modelling for constant rate of straining tests, constant rate of stressing tests, and relaxation tests. Preconsolidation pressures are shown to depend on unloading-reloading, aging, and other loading processes. -from Authors
