1.3.1. Modeling coupled with hydraulics#

Phase 1:

The sample is brought to a homogeneous state of effective constraints:

, by imposing the corresponding total pressure on the front, right lateral and upper faces and by imposing zero water pressures everywhere. The movements are blocked on the back sides (

), left lateral (

) and lower (

).

Phase 2:

We keep the movements blocked on the rear faces (

), left lateral (

_images/Object_8.svg

) and lower (

_images/Object_9.svg

). On all sides, hydraulic flows are zero.

An imposed displacement is applied to the upper face in order to obtain a deformation.

(counted from the start of phase 2). On the front and right lateral faces, limit conditions under total stress are imposed:
