Granular materials exhibit a wide spectrum of constitutive features when submitted under various loading paths. Developing constitutive models which succeed in accounting for these features has been challenged by scientists for decades. A promising direction for achieving this can be the multi-scale approach. Through this approach, the constitutive model is formulated by relating material’s macroscopic properties to their corresponding microstructure properties.This thesis proposes a three-dimensional micro-mechanical model (the so-called 3D-H model) taking into account an intermediate scale (meso-scale) which makes it possible to describe a variety of constitutive features in a natural way. The comparison between experimental tests and num...
