Micromechanical modeling of the Compression of the Damaged Zone experiment in the Callovo-Oxfordian formation

<p>A theoretical model of the Compression of the Damaged Zone experiment is proposed. The tools of micromechanics are used to represent the fractured zone. Assuming an elastic behavior of the sound COx claystone and a simplified geometry of the drift, an analytical solution is presented and...
