A universal hydro-mechanical coupled behavior model for clay-bearing strata—Molecular-level simulation approach

Abstract Clay minerals in soils and rocks exhibit large volume change upon interaction with water and this behavior becomes even more complex when the strata are being stressed by the engineering and environmental loads. Therefore, a realistic prediction of the hydro-mechanical behavior of the clay-...
