Microfocus X-Ray Tomography for characterisation of porous materials

Creators

Description

The technique of microfocus X-Ray tomography is used for the non-destructive follow-up of the hydromechanical behaviour of clay materials. In particular, SCK-CEN has applied this technique as part of its research programme on the geological disposal of radioactive waste to investigate the complex hydromechanical behaviour of a mixture of bentonite pellets and powder to seal shafts and boreholes in plastic clay. In addition, this technique has been used to study the evolution of fractures that might be created during shaft and gallery construction in the Boom Clay
