Origin of the Co‐Seismic Variations of Elastic Properties in the Crust: Insight From the Laboratory
Marie Estelle Solange Violay, François Xavier Thibault Passelègue, Mateo Alejandro Acosta, Federica Paglialunga
Seismological observations highlighted that earthquakes are often followed by changes in elastic properties around the fault zone. Here, we studied the origin of these variations using stick-slip experiments on saw-cut granite samples presenting different ...
2021Frictional and transport properties of faults zones in the Opalinus Clay formation
Deep geological repositories in clay formations are a promising option to ensure the long-term isolation of nuclear waste from the population and the environment. In Switzerland, the Opalinus Clay (OPA) formation is a shale whose favorable barrier properti ...
EPFL2018Petro-physical characterization of the Main Fault at the Mont Terri Laboratory
Marie Estelle Solange Violay, Luis Felipe Orellana Espinoza
Opalinus clay has been widely studied in the context of deep geological disposal. Its favourable hydro-mechanical properties made it a suitable material for the storage of nuclear waste. But the presence of tectonic systems within the clay formation arise ...
2017Origami - geometry of folded plate structures
Yves Weinand, Hans Ulrich Buri
This research proposes new methods to generate rapidly complex folded plate structures that can be built with cross laminated timber panels. Composition and dimensions of these panels as well as the possibility to mill them by Computer Numerically Controll ...
CRC Press/Balkema Taylor & Francis Group2010Origami - Folded Plate Structures
This research investigates new methods of designing folded plate structures that can be built with cross-laminated timber panels. Folded plate structures are attractive to both architects and engineers for their structural, spatial, and plastic qualities. ...
EPFL2010Typologie des eaux souterraines du Flysch de la nappe tectonique du Niesen (Préalpes suisses)
The typology of the underground waters of the flyschs of the Niesen and Gurnigel tectonic nappes form part of the AQUITYP project which has been worked on by the geology laboratory of the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Lausanne since 1981. Its pr ...
