Modelling the thermo-mechanical volume change behaviour of compacted expansive clays [PDF]
G\'eotechnique 59, 3 (2009) 185-195, 2009Compacted expansive clays are often considered as a possible buffer material in high-level deep radioactive waste disposals. After the installation of waste canisters, the engineered clay barriers are subjected to thermo-hydro-mechanical actions in the form of water infiltration from the geological barrier, heat dissipation from the radioactive waste ...
