    We develop an adaptive method for geometrically linear contact problems, which also includes elastoplastic material behavior. The radial return algorithm is used to derive the error estimator for one time increment of the solution process. The error estimator is based on the Zienkiewicz-Zhu projection scheme which is extended to account for the special situation in the contact interface.
