 The interrelationships between volume change behavior (dilation, contraction, and consolidation) and shearing behavior were all connected via the theory of plasticity using critical state soil mechanics by Roscoe, Schofield, and Wroth with the publication of "On the Yielding of Soils" in 1958.Critical state soil mechanics is the basis for many contemporary advanced constitutive models describing the behavior of soil.Geotechnical centrifuge modeling is a method of testing physical scale models of geotechnical problems.
