A new constitutive model of swelling soil material is proposed to evaluate its mechanical characteristics. In the case of the compacted bentonite material, nonlinear behavior appears more dominantly than ordinary clay materials in the consolidation test. The original Cam-clay model cannot describe these characteristics observed in the compacted bentonite materials. Therefore, a new modeling that strain increment consists of linear summation of the swelling component and the elast-plastic component is introduced to describe the nonlinear behavior in the unloading stage. From the result of the simulation of the triaxial compression test, it is demonstrated that the stress pass and the stress and strain relationship are well simulated by the new model.
