A Study of the Hydro-Mechanical Behaviour of Compacted Crushed Argillite

Description : The argillite extracted from Bure site (France) is proposed, after being crushed and com-pacted, as a possible sealing and backfill material in the geological high-level radioactive waste disposal. In this study, the effects of the grain size distribution and the microstruc-ture on the hydro-mechani...
