4. C modeling#

It should be noted that modeling C is characterized by:

  • A hydrostatic compression path in drained condition up to a pressure lower than the critical pressure.

  • An undrained path by maintaining lateral stresses on the sample and by imposing a vertical displacement compression that induces a plastic dilating triaxial stress state.
