Abstrakt: The article "Analysis of the micro to macro response of clays to compression" published in Géotechnique discusses the evolution of clay microfabric under compression. The authors present a conceptual model based on void index and liquidity index, illustrating the pore size distribution and fabric orientation changes during compression. The study highlights the importance of factors like bedding and lamination in influencing the mechanical behavior and permeability anisotropy of clays. The authors appreciate the contributors' insights and suggest further research directions to enhance the understanding of clay behavior under compression. [Extracted from the article]
