model was used in a strain hardening plasticity theory and to<br />

simplify calculations, it neglects the influence <strong>of</strong> the angle 0<br />

leading to a large discrepancy for this model when compared with<br />

triaxial experimental results. This will hold for other octahedral<br />

criteria as well, for instance that <strong>of</strong> Drucker and Prager<br />

(1952). While the failure surface proposed by Willam and Warnke<br />

(1974) intersects the hydrostatic axis for large compressive<br />

loading, in the present case when £/a = -13, the other surfaces<br />

open in the direction <strong>of</strong> the hydrostatic axis.<br />

The predicted shape in the deviatoric plane for £/tf = -2 corresponding<br />

to small triaxial compressive loadings, is shown in fig,<br />

3 for the considered criteria. The proposal <strong>of</strong> Reimann-Janda<br />
