This approach has been successfully applied in recent years to the study of many different problems in soil mechanics and granular physics. An open question is how realistic the microscopic model must be in order to accurately describe the macroscopic behavior observed in experiments. The objective of this contribution is to show the influence of different simple models of compacted granular soils on the overall elasto-plastic response of the system as a whole. We will focus our investigation on granular ratcheting, which is the persistent strain accumulation that a granular soil suffers under certain cyclic stress conditions. The direct influence of different models on the ratcheting response of the material will also help us to understand further this peculiar behavior of the system. The influence of particle shape will be also discussed.
