Rainfall-induced landslides are common natural hazards, particularly in cases involving
unsaturated soils. Slope instability issues may arise due to extreme climate events, while …

The paper presents the numerical simulation of an underground excavation in the Callovo-
Oxfordian argillaceous formation, performed in the Meuse/Haute-Marne underground …

The paper addresses the numerical simulation of strain localisation in stiff clays that exhibit
softening behaviour. An elastoplastic constitutive model developed to incorporate key …

In the context of feasibility study for geological disposal of radioactive waste, this work
focuses on numerical modeling of hydromechanical response and induced damage zones …

The safety and stability of roadways is greatly influenced by the complex geological
conditions present in the Sanmenxia Bauxite Mine, Henan Province, China. In this study …

The paper describes the performance, observations and numerical interpretation of a full-
scale in situ heating test conducted on Callovo-Oxfordian (COx) claystone in the …

A new constitutive model is developed in this paper for clay-rich rocks. This model describes
elastic, instantaneous and time-dependent plastic deformations, and induced damage. The …

Within the context of deep geological radioactive waste disposal, the French National
Radioactive Waste Management Agency (Andra) is conducting a research program …

To ensure long-term safety and performance, geological nuclear waste repositories require
low-permeability barriers such as bentonite buffers and/or shale host rock. Shale is not only …

Abstract The Callovo-Oxfordian claystone (COx) is considered as a potential geological
formation to host an industrial radioactive waste repository in France. A detailed …
