Fault's hydraulic diffusivity enhancement during injection induced fault reactivation: application of pore pressure diffusion inversions to laboratory injection experiments

François Xavier Thibault Passelègue

In situ observations of fluid induced fault slip reactivation, as well as the analysis of induced seismicity have demonstrated the complexity of fluid-fault interactions under geological conditions. If fluid flow commonly reactivates faults in the form of ...

A decade of progress and turning points in the understanding of bio-improved soils: A review

Lyesse Laloui, Dimitrios Terzis

Research and practice in the broader fields of civil and geotechnical engineering had long ignored the presence of living microorganisms in the subsurface and the way it impacts conventional practices. In the last 10 years, the term “microbial induced calc ...

Impact of Mineralogical Composition on Geotechnical Properties of Opalinus Clay

Lyesse Laloui, Alessio Ferrari, Eleonora Crisci

Opalinus Clay is the selected host geomaterial for the construction of underground geological disposals for radioactive waste in Switzerland. The formation has been studied in several sites, i.e. the Mont Terri laboratory, and several boreholes in the nort ...

Urban Underground Potential in Dakar, Senegal

Michael Robert Doyle

This article presents a mapping method that seeks to provide urban planning with a general overview of the underground resources of an urban area. Resource potentials (for buildable space, groundwater or geomaterial extraction and geothermal energy) tend t ...

Kinetics, Mechanics and Micro-structure of Bio-cemented Soils

Dimitrios Terzis

The quest for novel, performant materials and methods in the engineering practice is driven nowadays by the need to offer solutions to complex problems by coupling technical innovation with environmental responsibility. Such problems emerge in the geo-tech ...

The Role of Geological Barriers in Achieving Robust Well Integrity

Brice Tanguy Alphonse Lecampion

Wells play a key role in the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions. They are not only a critical element in ensuring the permanent trapping of carbon dioxide (CO2) in deep subsurface permeable formations, but they are also being recognized as an important ...

Multiple resources and their sustainable development in Urban Underground Space

Aurèle Parriaux, Huanqing Li, Chao Liu

Traffic congestion and ground space scarcity are increasing the need to find more space in the urban underground. The demand-driven "top-down" planning of Urban Underground Space (UUS) is common worldwide. As natural resource, the endowments of UUS are dif ...
