An Integrated Study of Water Weakening and Fluid Rock Interaction Processes in Porous Rocks: Linking Mechanical Behavior to Surface Properties

An Integrated Study of Water Weakening and Fluid Rock Interaction Processes in Porous Rocks: Linking Mechanical Behavior to Surface Properties

We investigated the impact of water weakening on the mechanical behavior of Obourg Chalk and Ciply Chalk (Mons Basin, Belgium). Different mechanical tests were conducted to estimate the unconfined compressive strength (UCS), tensile strength, Young’s modulus, mechanical strength under triaxial loadi...
