A bifurcation analysis of a strain hardening dilatant sand sample in the triaxial test is carried out. The analysis shows that the triaxial test yields only then the limiting soil properties if 1) the sample is compact enough and 2) if the confining pressure does not exceed a critical value depending on the soil anisotropy and the slenderness of the sample. © 1979 Springer-Verlag.
