Barodesy is a constitutive model based on proportional paths and the asymptotic behaviour of soil. It was originally developed for sand in 2009 by Kolymbas, and a version for clay was introduced in 2012. A shortcoming of former barodetic models was that tensile stresses can occur for certain dilative deformations. In this article, an improved version of barodesy for clay and a simplified calibration procedure are proposed. Basic features are shown, and simulations of element tests are compared with experimental data of several clay types.
