This work focuses on the analysis of desiccation cracking by numerical and analytical approaches. The initiation and the propagation of cracks are investigated by using a finite element code including cohesive joints elements. Coupling between the hydraulic and the mechanical processes in the presence of discontinuities is considered. The cohesive crack’s law is applied to simulate the initiation and the propagation of cracks.Results of a laboratory experiments performed on slurry clay soil are first used to evaluate the proposed numerical modelling method. The results show that the method is able to reproduce the main trends of desiccation process. The importance of boundary conditions are also discussed. Second, an energy approach is prop...
