Abstract:Several applications which are framed in the energy geotechnics field, particularly the design of energy geo-structures, energy geo-storage, enhanced geothermal energy systems and radioactive waste disposal, require a thorough thermo-hydro-mechanical (THM) characterisation of their host soil/rock formation. The present study comes up from the need to investigate the THM behaviour of deep Ypresian clays (Ycs, 300 to 400 m below ground) since they are one of Belgium’s potential host rock formations for deep geol… Show more
