Evolution of water content and suction of Opalinus Clay from recovery at the drilling site to handling in the laboratory

Lyesse Laloui, Alessio Ferrari, Angelica Tuttolomondo

Advanced geotechnical engineering applications, such as shale gas extraction, CO2 geological sequestration, and geological radioactive waste storage, often involve various types of shales located at significant depths. Shales exhibit mechanical properties ...

Pore-pressure coefficients for unsaturated soils: generalized effective stress approach

Lyesse Laloui, Alessio Ferrari, Angelica Tuttolomondo

Geotechnical problems with total stress changes occurring rapidly relative to the soil consolidation time can be conveniently addressed using an effective stress-based approach. For saturated states, analytical formulations of pore-pressure coefficients ad ...

On the mechanical behavior of expansive porous media with consideration on chemical effects

Lyesse Laloui, Alessio Ferrari, Angelica Tuttolomondo

Experimental geomechanics highlights that the mechanical behavior of expansive porous media is variable depending on the pore water chemical composition. These porous media are typically characterized by clay particles, whose activity (Skempton, 1953) (and ...

On predicting pore fluid pressure changes in unsaturated porous media subject to undrained processes

Lyesse Laloui, Alessio Ferrari, Angelica Tuttolomondo

Predicting the induced change of fluid pressure in an unsaturated porous medium during undrained loading/unloading processes is challenging because two different fluids (a liquid and a gaseous solution) and a mixture of solid particles are involved. The re ...

A generalised water retention model with soil fabric evolution

Lyesse Laloui, Angelica Tuttolomondo, Yafei Qiao, Xingbang Lu

This paper introduces a novel soil water retention curve model that considers two different mechanisms of water retention –namely capillarity and adsorption – and their evolution with soil fabric along a generalized stress path. The model is formulated bas ...

An Effective Stress Framework for Clayey Geomaterials Including a Chemical-Dependent Variable

Lyesse Laloui, Alessio Ferrari, Angelica Tuttolomondo

Experimental evidence shows that the chemical composition of the liquid inside the pores and its variation over time can have significant implications on the mechanical and hydraulic behavior of clayey geomaterials. The magnitude of these implications depe ...

On the definition of an effective stress for shales

Lyesse Laloui, Alessio Ferrari, Angelica Tuttolomondo

Energy-related engineering applications involving shales pose ever-increasing challenges for the constitutive modelling of these geomaterials. The present work proposes a new definition of effective stress developed by using a thermodynamic approach associ ...
