This paper describes the phenomenon of strain accumulation and different influencing parameters. Three groups of parameters are to be considered: parameters related to the current state of the soil, the current state of stress, and the characteristics of the load cycle applied. In particular, general approach and governing equations of an accumulation model, recently developed at the KHBO in close cooperation with the K.U. Leuven, are introduced. For validation of the model and determination of model parameters combined cyclic triaxial and bender element tests are carried out. The presented model is implemented in a three-dimensional finite element framework. Practical relevance of the topic is emphasized by a numerical example.
