AVERTISSEMENT : Le chatbot Graph n'est pas programmé pour fournir des réponses explicites ou catégoriques à vos questions. Il transforme plutôt vos questions en demandes API qui sont distribuées aux différents services informatiques officiellement administrés par l'EPFL. Son but est uniquement de collecter et de recommander des références pertinentes à des contenus que vous pouvez explorer pour vous aider à répondre à vos questions.
The safe storage of CO2 in deep reservoir units requires an efficient sealing of the overlaying caprock. The acidic environment caused by the dissolution of CO2 into the pore fluid can induce changes in the microstructure of the material over the long term ...
Scaly clays are stiff and highly fissured clays often used as construction materials. This paper presents the results of triaxial compression tests carried out on saturated and unsaturated samples of a compacted scaly clay. Complementary investigation on t ...

We investigate the effect of shear dilatancy of a permeable fault on the diffusion of pore pressure and the occurrence of dynamic slip. Starting from the results of Garagash & Germanovich (2012), we include the effect of both inelastic changes of material ...
Understanding the mechanism of nucleation of dynamic rupture is an important issue in seismology. It is the key factor in determining the seismic potential of pre-existing faults under long-term loadings. Furthermore, the activation of Mode II fracture by ...
In situ rock is often saturated with fluid, the presence of which affects both elastic parameters and inelastic deformation processes. Techniques were developed for testing fluid-saturated porous rock under the limiting conditions of drained (long-term), u ...
The paper presents an experimental and modelling approach for the soil water retention behaviour of two deformable soils. The objective is to investigate the physical mechanisms that govern the soil water retention properties and to propose a constitutive ...
The presence of pore fluid in rock affects both the elastic and inelastic deformation processes, yet laboratory testing is typically performed on dry material even though in situ the rock is often saturated. Techniques were developed for testing fluid-satu ...
This study investigates the impact that different magnitudes and combinations of thermal and axial mechanical loads have on the mechanical behaviour of energy piles in saturated sand. The work is based on the results of a series of thermo-hydro-mechanical ...
Shales are involved in energy-related applications such as the extraction of shale gas, the CO2 storage and the nuclear waste disposal. In these contexts, fundamental issues come along with the multiphysical conditions in which shales are found, where mech ...
