As a young geotechnical engineer, I wonder if I need to learn Critical State Soil Mechanics.

RE: Any practical use of Critical State Soil Mechanics?
In my opinion..It has huge benefit but indirectly. It gives you a detailed picture about the mechanics of soil under various loading senarios.
Many soil mechanics concepts can be seen clearer in the light of CSSM
Cam Clay model which is based on CSSM is becoming a regular model in almost every geotechnical software that respects the strain hardening/softening behavior of the cohesive soils.
My final words, most practicioners scare to use anything not tried frequently before. So the use of CSSM can be avoided in practice.
