Abstract In the Mont Terri Rock Laboratory (Switzerland), an interdisciplinary examination
program is carried out to increase knowledge about coupled hydro-mechanical effects in …

In this paper, thermo-hydro-mechanically (THM) coupled processes triggered during the
construction, operation and closure of a deep geological repository for heat generating, high …

Abstract The Federal Company for Radioactive Waste Disposal (BGE mbH) is tasked with
the selection of a site for a high-level radioactive waste repository in Germany in accordance …

We present an application of design-of-experiment (DoE) based history matching as an
approach to reduce and investigate parameter uncertainties in finite-element models for …

Geological materials such as Opalinus Clay show complex coupled hydro-mechanical
behavior at laboratory and field scales. In the context of radioactive waste disposal, in-situ …

In order to assess sites for a deep geological repository for storing high-level nuclear waste
safely in Germany, various numerical models and tools will be in use. For their interaction …

The present work deals with diffusion of gases in fully saturated porous media. We test and
validate the gas transport mechanism of dissolution and diffusion, implemented in the TH2M …

We investigated thermo–hydro–mechanical (TH–M) coupled behavior observed during the
full-scale heater emplacement experiment at the Mont-Terri underground research …

8 T. Cajuhi et al. approaches. In Sect. 2.2, we present a short overview concerning the
Opalinus Clay (OPA) formation, its behavior and applications. This potential host rock for …

A sound understanding of gas production and movement in argillaceous rock is key to
estimating the safety of the enclosure and efficiency of argillaceous barrier systems …
