The hydromechanical behavior of opalinus clay fractures: Combining roughness measurements with computer simulations
The role of surface roughness of fractures in Opalinus Clay and in rocks in general is relevant in understanding the hydromechanical behavior of fractures. Two different fracture surfaces of shear fractures in the Opalinus Clay were investigated. The fracture surfaces were characterized based on the...
