Multiscale Modeling of the Mechanical Behavior of Clay

The goal of this thesis is to develop a better understanding of the macroscopic engineering properties of clay through a bottom-up modeling approach, involving simulations at three length scales. At the nanoscale, molecular dynamics simulations were carried out to quantify the Potential of Mean Forc...
