In this paper, an experimental/numerical investigation is proposed to study the effect of
maximum aggregate size (D max) on the fracture process zone (FPZ) length variations and …

In the realm of engineering geology, specifically concerning the containment of high-level
radioactive waste, this study examines the excavation-induced damage zone (EDZ) in …

The excavation damage zone surrounding an underground tunnel/gallery, and in particular
its evolution, is being studied for the performance assessment of a radioactive waste …

Water‐driven fracture propagation is a fundamental issue in the failure analysis of cracked
concrete gravity dams. In the present paper, a poromechanical‐damage–based model is …

For the performance assessment of a high radioactive waste underground repository, the
excavation induced damage zone surrounding an underground drift as well as its evolution …

Non-linear finite element modelling of complex structures made of composites, such as
reinforced concrete, remains a challenge because, until now, the only way to consider the …

The Brazilian (indirect tensile strength) test is widely adopted for studying the permeability
evolution of single localized macro-cracks in concrete samples. In most of these studies, the …

This study examines the permeability evolution of the excavation damaged zone (EDZ) in
Callovo-Oxfordian argillite (COx claystone) drifts, from excavation to refilling. The aim is to …

In this paper, mesoscale hydromechanical simulations are performed to study (1) fracture
features and (2) crack‐gas permeability coupling evolution in the context of the tensile …

This paper provides a mathematical description of hydromechanical coupling associated
with propagation of localized damage. The framework incorporates an embedded …
