      Article
      Open Access
      Within the context of deep geological radioactive waste disposal, the French National Radioactive Waste Management Agency (Andra) is conducting a research program including in-situ experiments at the Meuse/Haute-Marne ...
    • Performance of the Opalinus Clay under thermal loading: experimental results from Mont Terri rock laboratory (Switzerland) 

      Gens Solé, Antonio; Wieczorek, Klaus; Gaus, Irina; Garitte, Benoit; Mayor, Juan Carlos; Schuster, Kristof; Armand, G.; Garcia Siñeriz, Jose luis; Trickl, Thomas (2017-04)
      Article
      Open Access
      The paper presents an overview of the behaviour of Opalinus Clay under thermal loading as observed in three in situ heating tests performed in the Mont Terri rock laboratory: HE-B, HE-D and HE-E. The three tests are summarily ...

      Article
      Open Access
      The FEBEX (Full-scale Engineered Barriers Experiment in Crystalline Host Rock) ‘‘in situ’’ test was installed at the Grimsel Test Site underground laboratory (Switzerland) and is a near-to-real scale simulation of the ...
    • Thermo-poro-mechanical coupled processes during thermal pressurization around nuclear waste repository 

      Vu, M.N.; Seyedi, D.; Armand, G. (CIMNE, 2015)
      Conference report
      Open Access
      This paper investigates the thermo-hydro-mechanical behavior of Callovo- Oxfordian claystone, a potential host formation for prospective nuclear waste disposal in France. Thermal pore pressure appears in low permeability ...
