The present study addresses an elasto-viscoplastic constitutive model which considers the effect of suction in unsaturated clayey soil and a soil-water-air three-phase coupled analysis using the elasto-viscoplastic model. The proposed constitutive model adopts the average skeleton stress for the effective stress from mixture theory. Hence, it has become possible to construct a model for unsaturated soils starting with a model for a saturated soil by substituting the average skeleton stress for the effective stress and introducing for the suction effect into the constitutive model. Furthermore, the collapse behavior, which is brought about by a decrease in suction can be described by the shrinkage of the overconsolidation boundary surface, the static yield surface, and the viscoplastic potential surface. A numerical analysis for multiphase materials is conducted within the framework of a continuum mechanics approach through the use of the theory of porous media. The theory is a generalization of Biot's two-phase mixture theory for saturated soil. A soil-water-air three-phase coupled finite element method has been developed in the present study using the governing equations for multi-phase soil based on the non-linear finite deformation theory. The average skeleton stress is defined as the difference between the total stress and the average pressure of the two fluids and is used in the proposed elasto-viscoplastic constitutive model. A van Genuchten (1980) type of equation is employed as the constitutive equation between the liquid saturation and the suction pressure. Numerical simulations of unexhausted-undrained compression are conducted under plane strain conditions, and the applicability of the proposed method is evaluated with respect to strain localization and the effect of suction.
