Triaxial compression tests with measurements of permeability were performed on core
granite samples taken at 450− 550 m depth from the Beishan area in Gansu Province, a …

The fluid transfers occurring around underground galleries are of paramount importance
when envisaging the long-term sustainability of underground structures for nuclear waste …

This paper puts forward a perspective or opinion that we can demonstrate Darcy's law is
valid at any scale where fluid can be modeled/analyzed as a continuum. Darcy's law …

The mechanical behavior and permeability evolution of saturated hard rock are significantly
important to the stability and safety of super-high arch dams. A series of triaxial compression …

Deep geological disposal is the preferred solution for radioactive waste management in
many countries, including Belgium, where the Boom Clay is one of the potential candidate …

The seepage evolution characteristic of brittle rock materials is very significant for the
stability and safety of rock engineering. In this research, a series of conventional triaxial …

Abstract The Kala Hydropower Station, planned in the middle reach of Yalong River in
China, consists of a large-scale cavern system for water conveyance and power generation …

It is difficult to establish a constitutive model of damage for rock materials due to the complex
meso-mechanism of the rock deterioration process. In this paper, by analysis of the damage …

We present a microstructural model of permeability in fractured solids, where the fractures
are described in terms of recursive families of parallel, equidistant cohesive faults. Faults …

We formulate a new micromechanical damage model for anisotropic rocks. This model
accounts not only for the coupling between material initial anisotropy and the damage …
