Benchmark study of undrained triaxial testing of Opalinus Clay shale: Results and implications for robust testing

Lyesse Laloui, Alessio Ferrari, Alberto Minardi

Triaxial testing of argillaceous rocks and shales is significantly more challenging than conventional rock mechanical testing. The challenges are mainly related to the very low permeability of these geomaterials, and their sensitivity to exposure of atmosp ...

Distributed hydrostatic pressure measurement using phase OTDR in a highly birefringent photonic crystal fiber

Luc Thévenaz, Li Zhang

Although distributed fiber-optic sensing of axial strain and temperature is a well-established technique, there are almost no demonstrations of distributed hydrostatic pressure sensing. The main obstacle for such measurements is the low sensitivity to pres ...

New method for measuring compressibility and poroelasticity coefficients in porous and permeable rocks

Lucas Xan Pimienta

Over the last decades, a large understanding has been gained on the elastic properties of rocks. Rocks are, however, porous materials, which properties depend on both response of the bulk material and of the pores. Because in that case both the applied ext ...

Characterization of THM Behaviour of Compacted MX-80 Granular Bentonite Using an Advanced Double-wall Triaxial Cell

Lyesse Laloui, Alessio Ferrari, Ali Seiphoori

This paper aims at characterization of thermo-hydro-mechanical behaviour of MX-80 granular bentonite obtained from an innovative double-cell triaxial system. The system has been mainly developed to perform suction controlled tests on unsaturated geomateria ...

Numerical modeling of unsaturated porous media as a two and three phase medium : a comparison

Lyesse Laloui, Laurent Vulliet, Georg Klubertanz

A numerical simulation of the hydro-mechanical behaviour of an unsaturated porous medium is presented. The coupled hydro-mechanical model used is based on the continuum theory of mixtures and treats the unsaturated soil as a three phase porous medium (soli ...
