Table 2

Aggregate Modulus used in the Simulations. A constant aggregate modulus was used for Test A [10]. A NaCl concentration-dependent aggregate modulus was used for Tests B and C [14]

Test A:
Constant Aggregate Modulus
HA
[MPa]
0.98

Tests B & C:
Variable Aggregate Modulus
HA = + ( - ) exp (-c/cH)



[MPa]
0.27

[MPa]
1.17
cH
[M]
0.12
