104 Summary Hardening Soil-SmallStrain model: correctly reproduces a strong reduction of soil stiffness with increasing shear strain amplitudes is recommended for Serviceability Limit State analyses as it generally predicts soil behavior and field measurements more precisely than basic linear-elasticity models is essential for the engineering problems with unloading/reloading modes such as excavations, tunneling accounts for stress stress history which is crucial for problems such as footing, consolidation, water fluctuation is applicable to most soils as it accounts for pre-failure nonlinearities for both sand and clay type materials regardless of the overconsolidation state The Hardening Soil model is not as difficult in practical use as you may think. When you run a simulation with the M-C model, as an exercise, try to run the Hardening Soil model as well. - Practical applications
