Numerical analysis of the hydromechanical response of Callovo-Oxfordian claystone to deep excavations

Deep geological disposal is considered as one of the promising options for the long-term management of the High-Level (HL) and Intermediate-Level Long-Lived (IL-LL) radioactive waste. Different argillaceous formations are studied in different countries for this purpose, such as, Opalinus clay in Swi...

Description
Summary:Deep geological disposal is considered as one of the promising options for the long-term management of the High-Level (HL) and Intermediate-Level Long-Lived (IL-LL) radioactive waste. Different argillaceous formations are studied in different countries for this purpose, such as, Opalinus clay in Switzerland, Boom clay in Belgium and Callovo-Oxfordian claystone in France.
