Compacted bentonite hydro-mechanical modelling when interaggregate porosity tends to zero

A formulation is proposed for reproducing the hydro-mechanical behaviour of compacted bentonites as interaggregate porosity becomes negligible. In that case, the model assumes the bentonite deformability to be controlled only by the microstructural modelling level in a double porosity approach. Henc...
