A nondestructive method of determining the stress-strain behavior of fine grained soils is developed based on this fundamental characterization of soils. A bounding surface plasticity model is used for the prediction of stress-strain behavior. Correlations are established relating the bounding surface model parameters to the appropriate electrical parameters. In situ prediction of stress-strain behavior of fine grained soils can be made by determining the electrical properties using an in situ measuring technique in a non-destructive manner and obtaining the required bounding surface model parameters from the correlations established. The feasibility of applying this methodology for predicting the stress-strain behavior is demonstrated based on a limited number of laboratory experiments performed on normally consolidated fine grained soils.
