Kriging-based reliability analysis of the long-term stability of a deep drift constructed in the Callovo-Oxfordian claystone

open access: yesJournal of Rock Mechanics and Geotechnical Engineering, 2021
Callovo-Oxfordian (COx) claystone has been considered as a potential host rock for geological radioactive waste disposal in France (Cigéo project). During the exploitation phase (100 years), the stability of drifts (e.g.

Environmental degradation of claystones

open access: yesGéotechnique, 2014
The paper presents the results of a comprehensive experimental programme carried out to study the effects of relative humidity cycling on the degradation of argillaceous rocks. Lilla claystone, a low-porosity Tertiary rock, was used for this purpose.

Matéria-prima da formação Corumbataí na região do pólo cerâmico de Santa Gertrudes, SP, com características naturais para fabricação de argila expandida Sedimentary rocks from Corumbataí formation (Paraná basin, Brazil) with natural characteristics to produce expanded clay lightweight aggregate

open access: yesCerâmica, 2012
Estudou-se um material da base da Formação Corumbataí, proveniente de uma mineração de argila, que apresenta restrições de uso em cerâmica devido à sua dureza e, principalmente, ao alto conteúdo de matéria orgânica.

Coupled stress-suction changes in the Callovo-Oxfordian claystone [PDF]

open access: yesE3S Web of Conferences, 2023
Some (saturated) claystones, considered as host rocks for deep radioactive waste disposal, are sensitive to drying and wetting. Wetting may result in swelling and damage during the resaturation of specimens for mechanical testing.

A note on the duration of claystone exploration programs

open access: yesSafety of Nuclear Waste Disposal, 2023
Abstract. In a recent report, the German Federal Company for Radioactive Waste Disposal (BGE) estimated the probable duration of exploration activities within potential siting regions (BGE, 2022). Based on many years of expertise regarding the exploration of the subsurface, we outline in this contribution that the BGE (2022) likely underestimates the ...
