Hydromechanical Modelling of Experimentally Compacted Saturated Argillaceous Porous Media

In order to model the experimental compaction of clays as completely as possible, it is necessary to use the hydromechanical coupled three-dimensional theory for saturated porous media. The proposed formulation is based on elastoplasticity, more precisely on modified Cam-clay model. The identification of the parameters of the model is made by special oedometric experiments at steady state. The compaction experiments are simulated with accuracy in transient and steady states and complement those obtained in a recent study based only on steady state.
