Abstract In this article, porous media theories are referred to as mixture theories extended by the well-known concept of volume fractions. This approach implies the diverse field functions of both the porous solid matrix and the pore fluid to be represented by average functions of the macroscale. The present investigations are based on a binary model of incompressible constituents, solid skeleton, and pore liquid, where, in the constitutive range, use is made of the second-grade character of general heterogeneous media. Within the framework of geometrically finite theories, the paper offers a set of constitutive equations for the solid matrix, the viscous pore liquid and the different interactions between the constituents. The constitutive model applies to saturated as well as to empty solid materials, taking into account the physical nonlinearities based on elasto-plastic solid deformations. In particular, the constitutive model concentrates on granular materials like soil or concrete, where the elastic deformations are usually small and the plastic range is governed by kinematically hardening properties.
