Granular materials belong to amorphous media and display localization of deformation when submitted to a large enough stress. Indeed, shear bands appear at the failure of a granular medium and this solid/liquid transition is still an open question. In order to characterize this dynamics and to observe rupture precursors, we developed an experimental device of plane strain biaxial test. It consists in a quasistatic uniaxial compression of a model granular sample made of glass microbeads under confinement pressure. We used an original interferometric method based on multiple light scattering to probe tiny deformations. Our experiments evidenced two types of deformation, those two behaviors differ in their dynamics and their characteristic ang...
