Abstract
In-situ sampling was performed in the Andra Meuse/Haute Marne (France) Underground Research Laboratory (URL) allowing the study of two cement based materials/claystone interfaces that have undergone 4 to 5 years of interaction. The first interface concerned a shotcrete that was sprayed on the wall of an access drift at the laboratory level and the second one, a class G cement paste that was injected in a borehole filled from the surface and was intercepted during the excavation of a new gallery. In the first case, the hydrodynamic conditions were controlled by the ventilation of the drift; while in the second, the cement paste and claystone materials were considered saturated and far from any mechanical perturbation. A multi scale investigation was carried out to identify any evidence of alkaline perturbation in the cement based materials and the claystone. Chemical, mineralogical, and textural measurements were thus performed on the different materials in contact at the nanometer to a centimeter scale. Results showed that all the perturbations resulting from the geochemical contrast between the cement materials and the claystone were limited to a μm scale on each side of the interfaces. Carbonation was observed in the cement materials leading to an opening or a clogging of the porosity according to the hydrodynamic conditions and the formulation of the cement material. The distribution of the cation exchange population was also modified in the claystone in contact with the cement paste where a potassium saturation of the exchangeable fraction was identified. The originality of the present work is that realistic field controlled samples from the Andra URL were studied, hereby allowing the evaluation of the impact of natural heterogeneities of the in-situ experimental conditions (that is, hydrodynamic conditions, engineered damage zone, mineralogical variations) on the perturbations at the cement paste/claystone interfaces. An important result is that the clogging of porosity was not homogenous along the interfaces.
