An experimental investigation on the micromechanics of non-active clays in saturated and partially saturated states

This thesis presents an experimental investigation of the micromechanical behaviour of non-active clay, both in saturated and unsaturated states. For the case of saturated clays, 1-D compression tests on kaolin saturated with fluids having different dielectric permittivity (air, acetone, and water)...
