文摘A theoretical description of instability of saturated soil under axial load is presented with a set of equations describing the deformation based on the two phase continuous media theory. It is shown that all parameters of water and soil influence the instability and two types of instability may exist. One of them is dominated by pore pressure softening, while the other by strain softening. Finally, a practical application is discussed.
