Dear SoilModels community
Dear Prof. Masin / all
I want to know how HP model considers Ko variation for the following cases:
Ko with variation with OCR?
Ko determination related to loading and unloading stress path?
Please refer me relevant papers.
Thanks

Hi Muhammad,
For oed compression, model will lead to K0 approximately equal to 1-sin phc.
For oed unloading, model will predict increase of K0 with OCR, however, this is parameter-specific and cannot be quantified using a simple formula. You have to simulate oedometric undloading test to see what K0 values the model produces.
