The use of numerical codes for simulating the propagation phase of fast landslides requires the definition of constitutive relationships suitable for the description of the mechanical behaviour of granular soils, under both solid and fluid conditions. In this paper, the authors briefly illustrate a constitutive modelling approach interpreting the material as a bi-phasic continuum, according to which the solid phase may behave like a solid, under quasi-static conditions, and a fluid, under collisional/dynamic conditions. The model presented seems to satisfactorily reproduce a series of results obtained by using a discrete element numerical code on mono and polydisperse granular specimens. The constitutive model has been implemented in a Material Point Method code to solve boundary value problems, in which strain rate large values are expected to influence the material response.
