DOI: 10.1016/j.jrmge.2016.11.014
Abstract: Abstract Repositories for deep geological disposal of radioactive waste rely on multi-barrier systems to isolate waste from the biosphere. A multi-barrier system typically comprises the natural geological barrier provided by the repository host rock –… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.jrmge.2017.04.003
Abstract: In many engineering applications, it is important to determine both effective rock properties and the rock behavior which are representative for the problem's in situ conditions. For this purpose, rock samples are usually extracted from… read more here.
