ABSTRACT: On the basis of the existing relation between the soil’s water content and its structural evolution, we elaborate a new analytical model allowing the analysis of the soil’s shrinkage curve according to the limits of its hydro-structural boundaries. This model was conducted on undisturbed clayey soil at Moulel-Bergui, Morocco.
