Essential Points: An elastic material recovers its original configuration on unloading; an elastoplastic material undergoes both elastic (recoverable) and plastic (permanent) deformation during loading. materials Soils are elastoplastic materials. At small strains, soils behave like an elastic material and thereafter like an elastoplastic material. The locus of the stresses at which a soil yields is called a yield surface. Stresses below the y y yield stress cause the soil to respond elastically; stresses beyond the yield stresses cause the soil to respond elastoplastically. The yield stress for soils is the not clearly defined and not a constant.
