ANCHORS training course

This school is organized within the framework of EURAD2  – whose one of its objectives is to develop, maintain and consolidate the scientific and technical basis of radioactive waste management. This doctoral school focuses on the Hydraulic mechanical chemical evolution of bentonite for barriers optimisation (ANCHORS) Work Package of EURAD-2.

At the end of the school, participants will have a broad view of the state-of-the-art and of the challenges related to the ANCHORS WP research programme. They will meet a number of key researchers on these questions, and will therefore be in contact to further develop their research project.

In particular, the attendees will be able to:

• Explain the Thermo-hydro²-chemio-mechanical (multi-physical) couplings in geomaterials
• Formulate the fundamentals on Constitutive modelling of the relevant phenomena
• Identify the challenges in numerical modelling of these physical processes
• Analyse the experimental evidences at the laboratory scale
• Explain the physical processes thanks to in situ tests.
