Rules Cam Clay Model - Summary

The Cam Clay model rules state that: (1) The size and shape of the yield surface depends on the pre-consolidation pressure; (2) The base of the yield surface lies within the elastic regime and is aligned with the critical state line; (3) The elastic zone is the region below the yield surface including its base, known as the elastic wall, where the soil state can change freely. The soil state can only move between elastic walls via the boundary surface known as the "roof".
