Modelling of oedometer tests on pellet-powder bentonite mixtures to support mock-up test analysis

Abstract: Bentonite mixtures of MX-80 (80% of high-density pellets and 20% of bentonite powder on a mass basis) have been recently proposed as a candidate material for sealing deep geological disposals of high-level radioactive waste. A loading/unloading oedometer test at constant water content has been performed on this mixture, which has been modelled using the finite element Code_Bright. The constitutive model used to represent the mechanical response is the Barcelona Expansive Model (BExM), since a multi-modal pore … Show more

“…Consequently, two competing effects occur at different pore-size scales: (i) compression due to mean net stress increase; and (ii) expansion on induced suction reduction that mainly affects the micro-porosity level inside aggregates. A sensitivity analysis has been performed to explore these effects, in which the elastic compressibility parameter at the micro-porosity scale for changes in mean effective stress plays an important role (Mesa-Alcantara et al,2020b). stress 𝑝 * .…”
