Effect of water content and structural anisotropy on mechanical property of claystone

open access: yesApplied Clay Science, 2012
International audienceThe mechanical behavior of claystone is sensitive to water content and structural anisotropy. In this paper, the mechanical property of claystone is first investigated by micro-indentation test and mini-compression test, performed ...

The water retention properties of the Callovo-Oxfordian claystone

International Journal of Rock Mechanics and Mining Sciences, 2013
Abstract A possible option for the disposal of high level long lived radioactive waste is to store the waste in galleries excavated at great depth in clays or claystones. In such conditions, the walls of the galleries will be successively subjected to desaturation induced by ventilation followed by resaturation once the galleries are closed.

The Misbehavior of the Laramie Formation Claystones

GeoChallenges, 2012
The Laramie Formation is the near-surface bedrock over much of the northern Front Range of Colorado. The Late Cretaceous bedrock is characterized by complexly interbedded sandstones and claystones with numerous vertical and lateral facies changes. The Lower Laramie also has coal beds that were mined in the areas near Marshall, Louisville, Lafayette ...

Characterization of excavated claystone and claystone–bentonite mixtures as backfill/seal material

Geological Society, London, Special Publications, 2014
Abstract Crushed claystone produced by excavation of repository openings has been investigated as backfill/seal material. The raw coarse-grained claystone can be used for backfilling repository openings and, in mixture with bentonite, for sealing boreholes, drifts and shafts.

On the water sensitivity of claystones

2015
ABSTRACT. Growing interest has been devoted to claystones in the framework of research about radioactive waste disposal at great depth. Claystones are weak rocks with significant sensitivity to changes in water content. Various evidences of damage induced either by stress application or by changes in water content have been observed ...

Poroplastic damage model for claystones

Applied Clay Science, 2004
Abstract The aim of this work is to propose a poroplastic damage model for claystones. Based on experimental results, this model reproduces the effects induced by degradations of the porous matrix after a mechanical loading. First, an anisotropic poroplastic damage model is formulated in order to describe the material degradations.

Landslide in claystone derived soil

International Journal of Rock Mechanics and Mining Sciences & Geomechanics Abstracts, 1979
A landslide in a colluvial slope is described that occurred after excavation was made for the construction of a building. The geometry of the landslide mass before and after sliding was able to be established relatively well. Ground-water observations were made for a period 3 months after the slide occurred.
