Hydro-mechanical behaviour of a pellets based bentonite seal: Numerical modelling of lab scale experiments

In most of the concept designs for nuclear waste disposals, bentonite-based materials are used to seal underground galleries and shafts. In order to assess the safety of such engineered barriers and to provide a good prediction for the material behaviour, a number of experimental campaigns and const...
