In particular, the shear behavior of the soil-structure interface plays a key role in the design of civil engineering structures and their analysis over time. The interface is a thin zone of soil in contact with the structure where major stresses and strains develop in. To our knowledge, previous works on the characterization of the mechanical behavior of the soil-structure interface mainly include typical soils (sand or clay) or natural soils, in contact with variable structural materials (concrete, steel, wood). However, natural soils are very complex, partly due to geological heterogeneities, and the mechanical response of typical soils does not always represent accurately intermediate soils between sand and clay. Previous studies on the mechanical behavior of those soils are significantly represented in the literature, especially in experimental research, however it is rather poorly documented on the interface between these soils and structural materials, whereas their response to mechanical loadings is different. The objective of this paper is to characterize the shear behavior of the soil-structure interface for intermediate soils between sand and clay, by experiments at the laboratory scale. Artificial mixtures of silica sand and kaolinite-rich clay are chosen to represent the intermediate soils in this study. For this propose, the research is organized in a main experimental campaign that aims to investigate the effect of the clay fraction, from 0% (sand) to 55% (kaolin clay) on the mechanical behavior of a soil-concrete interface by a direct shear device in the laboratory. The characterization of the shear behavior of the soil-concrete interface at various clay and sand fractions allows to enlighten the role of soil microstructure at the soil-structure interface on the stability of civil engineering structures.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":56008,"journal":{"name":"Geomechanics for Energy and the Environment","volume":"38 ","pages":"Article 100543"},"PeriodicalIF":5.1,"publicationDate":"2024-02-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139949558","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Further changes can occur under thermal load during the heating period in the post-closure phase of a repository for high-level radioactive waste. Initially more or less randomly distributed intragranular and intergranular fluid in a low-permeability sedimentary rock such as bedded or domed salt can then be mobilised and migrated under the altered hydro-mechanical and the coupled thermo-hydro-mechanical-chemical conditions at a potentially significant rate towards the excavation. To investigate the fluid migration behaviour, a test program BATS (Brine Availability Test in Salt) was carried out as a collaboration between Sandia National Laboratories (SNL), Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL), and Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (LBNL) for US Department of Energy Office of Nuclear Energy in the underground facility WIPP (Waste Isolation Pilot Plant), Carlsbad, NM. Within the international cooperative project DECOVALEX-2023, data from the BATS experiment was systematically analysed by international teams using different model concept. Based on the multi-scale modelling strategy developed during DECOVALEX-2019, the BGR/UFZ team is analysing different type of measured data, including the inflow from the Small-Scale Brine Inflow test, the permeability distribution around the excavation from the Small-Scale Mine-by experiment, and the temperature evolution and inflow from the BATS experiment. The zone of enhanced permeability after excavation, which builds the main pathway for the inflow, is approximately 2.5 times the opening radius. The distribution of the permeability in the near-field around an opening can be well predicted by a failure-index based permeability model. Using the thermo-hydro-elastic model taking into account the creep behaviour of the rock salt, a reasonable prediction of inflow can be obtained under heated and unheated conditions. The flow pattern under heated conditions is characterized by an increase in permeability for BATS 1a and a decrease in the pressure gradient for 1b. The observation of a ‘spike’ behaviour after turning-off the power in the experiment can be explained on a microscale by the cooling contraction of the salt crystal, which leads to a 2 OOMs (order of magnitude) increase in permeability due to tensile stress, but only at high pore pressure and for a short time.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":56008,"journal":{"name":"Geomechanics for Energy and the Environment","volume":"38 ","pages":"Article 100542"},"PeriodicalIF":5.1,"publicationDate":"2024-02-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2352380824000091/pdfft?md5=2ab654995c5389b2b9172e8ef2806cb6&pid=1-s2.0-S2352380824000091-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139731737","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The HGFRAC model consists of six different types of benchmark exercises. It is important to note that different types of elements and integration methods used in finite element simulations can influence the obtained results. Comparing the results of quadrilateral and triangle elements, it is observed that the quadrilateral element, due to its bi-linear gradient characteristic, produces a more stable stress field compared to the linear triangle element. The computational efficiency of the HGFRAC model has been improved due to the introduction of the selective integration method for quadrilateral elements. This is because the standard integration method lacks stability and is prone to locking effects, which leads to convergence problems. Additionally, sensitivity analyses have been performed on the fluidity parameter of the clay material, which controls the viscoplastic deformations. Further analysis of the response of quadrilateral elements, using the GTPT axisymmetric model, reveals that the integration method on Gauss points may cause convergence issues. These issues can be resolved by introducing the nodal point integration method, the selective integration method or a combination of both. In general, when dealing with HM-coupled gas injection problems, the use of selective integration enhances stability and cost-efficiency in calculations. Although the integration method on nodal points can resolve convergence issues in the GTPT model, it is worth noting that the calculation results can still be affected by locking effects.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":56008,"journal":{"name":"Geomechanics for Energy and the Environment","volume":"38 ","pages":"Article 100541"},"PeriodicalIF":5.1,"publicationDate":"2024-02-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S235238082400008X/pdfft?md5=4e199926ae8e5dbbae7a1cb2765998f5&pid=1-s2.0-S235238082400008X-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139820291","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The main target of the exploration program was the &gt;100m thick Opalinus Clay, the designated host rock encountered at approximately 450 to 1000 m depth in three different sites. This contribution focuses on the evaluation of geomechanical properties and the deformation behavior from the triaxial testing campaign, both aspects relevant to construction and the assessment of the long-term safety of a DGR. Some 140 triaxial tests were performed on cores from seven different boreholes to evaluate potential differences in material properties by depth and geographic location. Core sampling, preparation chain, and testing protocols were validated before the campaign, and three laboratories were commissioned to perform the tests. A comparison of basic properties from cores used for triaxial testing with a much larger database of complementary core analyses and geophysical logging demonstrates that the performed tests cover the range of expected material properties. Limited to no differences in strength and stiffness are detected from cores at different depths and sites. Despite a relatively large variation in bulk mineralogy of the formation (e.g. clay-mineral content varying between 35 and 75 wt%), the strength values of Opalinus Clay vary only moderately, with equivalent (calculated) unconfined compressive strengths of 21 ± 5 MPa, for loading directions parallel or perpendicular to bedding. This contrasts with the results of Opalinus Clay from the Rock Laboratory at Mont Terri, where the effect of material composition was more relevant. Assuming a Mohr-Coulomb-type failure law, the transition from peak to post-peak strength comes at the expense of cohesion, and only a small reduction of the shear strength angle. Hence the burial history, tectonic overprint, and current depth mainly control the intact properties by additional cohesion, whereas the post-peak behavior is mainly controlled by bulk mineralogy.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":56008,"journal":{"name":"Geomechanics for Energy and the Environment","volume":"38 ","pages":"Article 100508"},"PeriodicalIF":5.1,"publicationDate":"2024-01-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2352380823000771/pdfft?md5=1f21cbd21a4c38f49b5a34747c40f6eb&pid=1-s2.0-S2352380823000771-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139515378","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
