Geomechanics module: what model is better for lightweight expanded clay aggregate material?

I need to model compression of a lightweight expanded clay aggregate material. I'm not so expert of rocks mechanics and I'm looking for information available in literature. I found different models, in particular the Hoek-Brown model and the cam-clay model, but I'm not sure what is the best model for my application.
I think that the Hoek-Brown material is easier to apply, but I'm afraid that it is only appliable to rock masses and not to aggregates (like in the attached); I'm not sure for the possible use of cam-clay as well.
Can anybody help me about this choice?
I attach a photo of the material for further clarity and for other information this is the webpage of the material: www.weber.es/soluciones-ligeras-con-arlitareg-lecareg/soluciones/arlitareg-lecareg/arlitaregnbsplecareg-solar.html
Thank you for the attention,
Giovanni
