Investigating the Influence of Mechanical anisotropy on the Fracturing Behaviour of Brittle Clay Shales with Application to Deep Geological Repositories
… be negatively affected by the formation of an excavation damaged zone (EDZ) around the underground openings. This thesis investigated the deformation and failure process of a clay shale, namely Opalinus Clay, with particular focus on the influence of anisotropy on the short-term response of …

From some obscurity to clarity in Boom clay behavior: Analysis of its coupled hydro-mechanical response in the presence of strain localization
… at depth in these media, the creation of a damaged zone with significant irreversible deformation is generally unavoidable. A considerable change in the host rock properties could be likely resulted in this zone, which may potentially be important with respect to the long-term evolution and …
