When the soil behaves elastic and when it behaves elastic-plastic ?

The first loading follow a curved load-deformation path which cannot be retraced when the load is removed.

Deviator stress (kPa)

Upon unloading at zero load the soil is left with permanent compressed height.
When the soil is reloaded to load less than the previous maximum, essentially the soil shows an elastic response. As soon as the past maximum load is exceeded the elastic response change to plastic response where the soil proceed with the curved stress-strain behaviour.

EXAMPLE (Response of soil as isotropic and elastic material)

A triaxial soil specimen of diameter 50mm and height 100mm is subjected to an axial effective stress of 400kPa and radial effective stress of 100kPa. The resultant axial and radial displacements are 0.5mm and -0.04mm respectively. Assuming the soil is an isotropic and elastic material, calculate (a) the mean and deviatoric stress (b) the volumetric and shear strains and (c) the shear, G, bulk, K and elastic, E moduli.
