Multiphysical couplings of clays in energy geotechnics


Energy Geotechnics includes several applications related to the recovery and storage of energy from and into the ground, energy transportation, and the management of waste and carbon dioxide generated from energy use. These applications often involve the need to consider the behaviour of the involved clayey geomaterials under complex - and often extreme – conditions, involving a series of coupled mechanical, hydraulic, chemical and thermal phenomena. The presentation discusses advances on the development of experimental, numerical and constitutive modelling tools for analysing the complex series of couplings involved in those applications.
