Thermo-hydro-mechanical Coupling in Clay Barriers
A complete thermo-hydro-mechanical model is presented to tackle the complex coupling problems encountered in clay barriers. A detailed formulation coupling the heat, moisture (liquid water and water vapour) and, air transfer in a deformable unsaturated soil is given. The formulation of the AlonsoGens’s mechanical model for unsaturated soil is also incorporated. The sensitivity to some parameter...
متن کاملThermo-mechanical behaviour of energy piles
Energy piles are an effective and economic means of using geothermal energy resources for heating and cooling buildings, contributing to legislative requirements for renewable energy in new construction. While such piles have been used for around 25 years with no apparent detrimental effect, there is limited understanding of their thermo-mechanical behaviour. This paper synthesises the results ...
متن کاملPreliminary laboratory thermo - hydro - mechanical characterization of Opalinus clay
1 INSTRODUCTION In the concept of geological radioactive waste disposal, argillite is being considered as a possible host rock in various countries such as France and Switzerland. This material is chosen thanks to its extremely low permeability that is required to limit the transfer of radioactive elements from the waste package towards the environment. During the construction and exploitation ...
متن کاملContinuum Thermo-Mechanics Fundamentals
We assume that at the continuum scales of interest here, the mass density ⇢ as well as the the momentum per unit volume ⇢u can be interpreted as well-defined averages of microscopic masses and momenta. That is, they are averages over minute spatial regions and time intervals, which can nevertheless be chosen large enough that there are negligible statistical fluctuations about those averages at...
متن کاملThermo- and hydro-mechanical processes along faults during rapid slip
Field observations of maturely slipped faults show a generally broad zone of damage by cracking and granulation. Nevertheless, large shear deformation, and therefore heat generation, in individual earthquakes takes place with extreme localization to a zone <1–5 mm wide within a finely granulated fault core. Relevant fault weakening processes during large crustal events are therefore likely to b...
