Quantitative analysis of deformation in hollow cylinder tests on anisotropic clay formations

Vincent Labiouse, Shuang You

A series of triaxial laboratory experiments are performed on thick-walled hollow cylindrical samples of boom clay. The aim of this testing program is to better understand the anisotropic deformation during the excavation. The testing conditions are similar ...

New Developments in Rock Fall Hazard Assessment and Zoning: An Application of the Cadanav Methodology

Vincent Labiouse, Jacopo Maria Abbruzzese

Rock fall hazard assessment and zoning are very important for an appropriate land use planning in mountainous areas. However, they are complex topics, and current methodologies adopted for producing zoning maps do not provide satisfactory results, due to a ...

Improved analytical solutions for the response of underground excavations in rock masses satisfying the generalized Hoek-Brown failure criterion

Vincent Labiouse

Analytical solutions for tunnel design are widely used in practical engineering, as they allow a quick analysis of design issues such as estimation of support requirement. In recent years, several papers analyzing the behavior of rock masses that obey the ...

Plasticity in soil-structure interaction applied to cut-and-cover tunnels

Aurelio Muttoni, Laurent Vulliet, Vincent Labiouse, Sylvain Plumey

Cut-and-cover tunnels behavior at ultimate limit state depends strongly on the interactions between the foundation soil, the backfill and the reinforced concrete structure. Characterization of the potential failure modes of these types of structure necessi ...

Analysis of the evolution of road tunnels equilibrium conditions with a convergence–confinement approach

Vincent Labiouse, Federica Sandrone

Since both lining structure and rock mass exhibit delayed behaviour, tunnel equilibrium conditions evolve with time. After discussing existing work done on different aspects of long-term tunnel behaviour, the aim of this paper is to “understand” the influe ...

Rockfall characterization and structural protection - a review

Vincent Labiouse

Rockfall is an extremely rapid process involving long travel distances. Due to these features, when an event occurs, the ability to take evasive action is practically zero and, thus, the risk of injury or loss of life is high. Damage to buildings and infra ...

Physical modelling to better understand rock avalanches

Vincent Labiouse, Irene Manzella

Several authors have resorted to physical modelling in the field of rock avalanches. After a review of some of these works, the present paper describes tests carried out at the Ecole Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne. The main goal of these experiments, i ...

Analytical and numerical analyses of the load-bearing capacity of retaining walls laterally supported at both ends

Aurelio Muttoni, Laurent Vulliet, Vincent Labiouse, Sylvain Plumey

This paper investigates the load-bearing capacity of a perfectly smooth retaining wall laterally supported at both ends assuming that the wall fails by the development of three plastic hinges. The study considers the case of a cohesionless elastic–perfectl ...

Consequences of the Thermal Transient on the Evolution of the Damaged Zone Around a Repository for Heat-Emitting High-Level Radioactive Waste in a Clay Formation: a Performance Assessment Perspective

Vincent Labiouse, Xing Li

A proper evaluation of the perturbations of the host rock induced by the excavation and the emplacement of exothermic wastes is essential for the assessment of the long-term safety of high-level radioactive waste disposals in clay formations. The impact of ...

Rockfall protection as an integral task

Vincent Labiouse

Among the different natural hazards, rockfall has an important place even though other natural hazards could affect more people or have greater consequences. The phenomenon may be further classified according to the size of the largest blocks and the total ...

Half-scale experimental study of rockfall impacts on sandy slopes

Vincent Labiouse, Barbara Heidenreich

In the framework of rockfall trajectory modelling, the bouncing phenomenon occurring when a rock block impacts with the slope surface is the most difficult to predict, owing to its complexity and its very limited understanding. To date, the rebound is comm ...

An X-ray computed tomography-based index to characterize the quality of cataclastic carbonate rock samples

Aurèle Parriaux, Reto Meuli, Vincent Labiouse, Pascal Turberg

X-ray computed tomography (XRCT) can reconstruct, in a nondestructive way and in three-dimension, the distribution of densities within opaque materials. Consequently, it provides an effective possibility to characterize the inner content of rock core sampl ...
