The incremental constitutive equations describing the pre-failure deformations of sand are presented. These equations were calibrated on the basis of extensive experimental data, obtained from investigations performed in a triaxial apparatus. Incremental equations were calibrated separately for initially contractive and dilative soil samples. Then, they were applied to predict the undrained behaviour of saturated soil samples. In the case of contractive soils, the constitutive equations describe the effective stress paths leading to the static liquefaction. In the case of dilative soils, the effective stress path is different, as the mean effective stress initially decreases, and after passing the instability line, it starts to increase, asymptotically reaching the failure envelope. Theoretical predictions of undrained behaviour are supported by experimental data. The original feature of this paper is that one can predict the undrained behaviour of saturated granular soils on the basis of stress-strain characteristics of the same soil but dry or tested in drained conditions.
