One of the primary objectives of this work is to better understand the frictional behavior of joints under shear loads, including the creation of damage zones. Discontinuities have an important influence on the deformational behavior of rock systems. The c ...
A field method called the gas push-pull test (GPPT) was previously developed and tested for the in situ quantification of aerobic methane (CH4) oxidation by soil microorganisms. The GPPT consists of an injection followed by extraction of reactant and trace ...
The SELFRAC project aimed to study the fractures within the Excavation Damaged Zone (EDZ) around galleries in the Boom clay and Opalinus clay formations and their possible sealing/healing with time. Tests carried out at LMR-EPFL aimed at quantifying on the ...
We investigate the hydraulic alteration and the effect on primary productivity of the Hugh Keenleyside Dam built at the outlet of the Arrow Lakes (British Columbia, Canada) in 1967. Three dam-induced hydraulic changes have been identified as relevant: (1) ...
High-resolution neutron inelastic scattering experiments in applied magnetic fields have been performed on La1.895Sr0.105CuO4 (LSCO). In zero field, the temperature dependence of the low-energy peak intensity at the incommensurate momentum transfer Q(IC)=( ...
We introduce a new low temperature bonding technology to assemble two microstructured glass substrates for the realization of microchannels for miniaturized chemical analysis applications. To realize the microchannels, we introduce, besides the well-known ...
While it is widely recognized that fluids influence fault strength and earthquake nucleation, propagation and arrest, their effects on co-seismic sliding friction are only conjectured. To shed light on these effects, 55 high velocity (>1ms-1) friction e ...
