A soil model is a mathematical representation of the behavior of the soil under load. The model typically relates the stresses applied to the strains experienced by the soil as a result. The simplest of these relationships is the theory of elasticity. The theory of elasticity states that stresses and strains are linearly related. When load is applied to a linear elastic material, the stresses, strains, and displacements occur instantaneously and remain constant with time. Viscoelasticity introduces the influence of time on the deformation process. Linear viscoelasticity further simplifies the phenomenon by allowing superposition of the elastic deformation and the time‐dependent deformation. One way to model a soil is to consider that it behaves elastically at first, then reaches a yield point, and then continues to deform plastically until it reaches failure.
