Hydric Cycle Impacts on COx Argillite Permeability and Young’s Modulus
Abstract Wetting–drying cycles are likely to induce damage of claystone. To evaluate and to prevent micro-cracking impacts on Callovo-Oxfordian (COx) argillite, which is, in France, the potential host rock of structures containing nuclear wastes, 18 months of tests were carried out on different series of samples. These tests consisted of gas permeability and Young’s modulus measurements. They were carried out on dry material, as a reference state, previously submitted to successive cycles of wetting–drying. The results show without any ambiguity that repeated hydric cycles lead to damage i.e. additional micro-cracking that induces an increase in gas permeability (possibly by 2–3 orders of magnitude compared with the intact one) and decrease in Young’s modulus by 5–15%. This means that strong precautions have to be followed to keep stable the initial material water content prior to the tests and to study a material representative of its in-situ state.
