Hydro-Mechanical Characterization of a Shale by Unusually High-Pressure Oedometric Tests
The note presents selected results of an experimental campaign conducted with the aim to investigate the hydro-mechanical behaviour of a shale recovered at a depth of about 900 m below the ground. High-pressur...

The Role of Anisotropy on the Volumetric Behaviour of Opalinus Clay upon Suction Change
An experimental investigation to analyse the anisotropic volumetric response of shaly and sandy facies of Opalinus Clay upon suction variations is presented. Obtained results demonstrate the different behavio...
