Characterization of Excavation Damaged Zone (EDZ) around an underground excavation is a major research topic for deep geological disposal of medium to high level radioactive waste. Rock fracturing due to excavation and thermal loading and its resultant rock mass permeability change in the EDZ are important aspects in the EDZ characterisation. A new function to predict rock mass permeability cha...

The paper describes a method for determining the density and specific surface of package rock particles represented by discs with size corresponding to fragments real dump massifs (2D case). packing corresponds schemes dumping used in open-pit mining - areal peripheral ones. influence boundaries, which is located, on physical characteristics this massif porosity revealed. It was revealed that w...

Addressing the illegal dumping of construction and demolition waste (CDW) is challenging because there are significant costs associated with clean-up actions but, for many local authorities, no data available to describe this reality support decision-making process. This research focused on how study dynamic CDW dumpsites, characterising these occurrences in order understand factors that influe...

The GEOTHER/VT4 computer code is an improved version of the GEOTHER computer code. The GEOTHER/VT4 code was applied to a two-dimensional simulation of a waste package in a high-level waste repository to predict the thermal-hydraulic environment where steam formation may occur. The thermal-hydraulic environment is important for assessing waste package container corrosion and packing material swe...

With increased population, rapid industrialization and life style changes, the characteristics and the rates of solid waste generation have gone under drastic change in India. Generally, in India, management of solid waste landfill is of major concern with respect to the existing circumstances. The illegal dumping of municipal solid waste on the outskirts of cities is creating major environment...
