The work presented here has been undertaken within the French National Project BCRD
coordinated by INERIS (2005-2008). The financial support of INERIS is gratefully
acknowledged. The authors are also indebted to P. Delage, H. D. Nguyen and P. Delalain for
their fruitful discussions on a range of issues related to the mechanical behaviour of chalk.
The technical support of E. De Laure and J. Thiriat in designing the experimental
apparatuses presented is also greatfully acknowledged.
