WTNV101 - Triaxial compression test not drained with the model
of Laigle and with hydraulic coupling



Summary

This test makes it possible to validate the model of Laigle with hydraulic coupling. It is about a triaxial compression test in
not drained condition. The aspect not drained is modelized by a null voluminal deformation of the skeleton and it
hydraulic coupling is taken into account, the sample is completely saturated, the skeleton and the fluid being
presumedly incompressible.
By reason of symmetry, one is interested only in the eighth of a sample subjected to a triaxial compression test.
The level of containment is 8 MPa.
