Abstract The focus of this work is to provide a new concept for accessing the swelling stress in expansive porous media, especially in highly compacted bentonite. The key to the new approach is the simulation with a chemical swelling model of an infinitesimal volume change followed by a back compaction Process. Free extension is allowed in the first step, to calculate the interlayer porosity change (micro) and the induced volume change potential (macro). The object-oriented FEM simulator GeoSys/RockFlow allows the combination of different processes. The hydro-mechanic/chemical ((HM)-M-2/C) model takes into consideration two phase flow and deformation, as well as chemical swelling effects. The negative displacements on each boundary after the free extension simulation are taken as Dirichlet boundary conditions of the back compaction problem. The deformation step is simulated in the context of elasto-plasticity using the modified Cam-Clay model. The stresses obtained by back compaction represent the swelling pressure. A 2D example of compacted bentonite is analyzed with the new (HM)-M-2/C model
