Determination of elastic modulus of claystone: Nano-/micro-indentation and meso-compression tests used to investigate impact of alkaline fluid propagation over 18 years

Micro-mechanical properties of a claystone were tested after undergoing alkaline perturbation on site (Tournemire, CD borehole) for 18 years. In a saturated context and outside the excavation disturbed zone (EDZ), the claystone exhibits a 11.6-mm black rim at the cement/paste interface, which shows...
