ABSTRACT

The tests were performed on samples extracted from boreholes cored in the Mont-Terri (Switzerland) underground laboratory at a depth of approximately 300 m. This corresponds to a preconsolidation pressure around 20 MPa. The data were extracted from project-specific documents of NAGRA (Chiffeleau and Robinet 1980, Olalla et al. 1999, Thury and Bossart 1999, Nagra 2002, Rummel and Weber 2004, Wenk et al. 2008, Laloui and Francois 2008, Salager et al. 2009).
