Abstract :
Interface elements are a classical approach to represent discrete cracks, joints and faults. The basic kinematic
and constitutive aspects are recapitulated and the extension to hydromechanical conditions is elaborated. A
classification is presented of hydromechanical interface elements, depending on the multiplicity of the pressure
degree of freedom, and the physical implications of the different possibilities are explained.
