3. Joint characteristics

3.1 Mechanical behavior

The non-linear (elasto-visco-plastic) behavior of the joint (figure 2 ) is characterized by a variation in its elastic modulus as a function of the applied stress. The standard does not introduce this notion.

3.1.1 Decompression modulus of elasticity

The behavior of the joint under decompression (assumed elastic return) is modeled by a straight line whose slope ( E...
