Thermo-hydro-mechanical analysis of the complete lifetime of the bentonite barrier in the FEBEX in-situ test

Lyesse Laloui, Alessio Ferrari, Jose Antonio Bosch Llufriu, Yafei Qiao

The FEBEX test was a large-scale demonstration project for the deep geological disposal concept of nuclear waste involving bentonite seals that lasted 18 years. One of the objectives of the test was to evaluate the capabilities of numerical methods to prov ...

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 ...

A double-structure hydromechanical constitutive model for compacted bentonite.

Lyesse Laloui, Yafei Qiao

This paper presents a double-structure elastoplastic constitutive model that can describe the hydromechanical behavior of compacted bentonite. The model is formulated based on a new developed double-structure hydromechanical framework that consists of four ...

Increasing understanding and confidence in THM simulations of Engineered Barrier Systems.

Lyesse Laloui, Alessio Ferrari, Yafei Qiao

Previous studies on the modelling of coupled thermo-hydro-mechanical (THM) processes in bentonite-based engineered barrier systems (EBSs) showed the sensitivity of the output quantities to changes in the input parameters. To investigate the effects of unce ...

ACMEG-TVP: A thermoviscoplastic constitutive model for geomaterials

Yafei Qiao

In this paper, a thermoviscoplastic constitutive model for geomaterials is presented. The model is formulated based on two aspects: (i) the nonstationary flow surface theory, which is used to describe the viscous behaviour of geomaterials, and (ii) the the ...

Pre-dismantling THM modelling of the FEBEX in situ experiment.

Lyesse Laloui, Alessio Ferrari, Yafei Qiao

FEBEX (Full-scale Engineered Barrier Experiment in Crystalline Host Rock) is a research and demonstration project that was initiated by ENRESA (Spain). The aim of the project is to study the behaviour of near-field components in a repository for high-level ...

Nonstationary flow surface theory for modeling the viscoplastic behaviors of soils

Lyesse Laloui, Alessio Ferrari, Yafei Qiao

This paper presents a three-dimensional elastic viscoplastic model that can describe the time-dependent behaviors of soft clays. The constitutive model is formulated based on the nonstationary flow surface theory and incorporates new developments, includin ...

Sensitive THM coupled analysis of buffer-rock barriers for nuclear waste storage

Lyesse Laloui, Alessio Ferrari, Yafei Qiao

The buffer-rock barriers system is widely proved to be one of the most promising options for isolating high-level radioactive waste from the human environment. To certify the efficiency and provide the additional development regarding design and assessment ...
