附录1 外文翻译原文Elastic modelsAnisotropyAn isotropic material has the same properties in all directions—we cannot dis-tinguish any one direction from any other. Samples taken out of the groundwith any orientation would behave identically. However, we know that soilshave been deposited in some way—for example, sedimentary soils will knowabout the vertical direction of gravitational deposition. There may in additionbe seasonal variations in the rate of deposition so that the soil contains moreor less marked layers of slightly different grain size and/or plasticity. The scaleof layering may be suffcie
