This paper presents a simple elasto-plastic theory for anisotropic granular materials as a preliminary one incorporating inherent anisotropy and anisotropic yielding. While several elasto-plastic thoeries for granular material have been proposed by several investigators, most of these theories are isotropic concerning deformation, strength and yielding. Recently, however, it has been found that granular materials have, in general, different deformabilities and strengths for the different directions and their yielding performances are not isotropic but anisotropic. While this theory involves several parameters, the present author is not able to establish the definite functions of all of these parameters with respect of stress, void ratio, inherent anisotropy or so. By using some assumptions, several calculation by this theory were performed.
