Creep behaviour, especially for underground radioactive waste disposal facilities, whose storage periods far exceed the service time of most of the civil engineering underground facilities, is very significant. This book systematically studies boom clay, an argillaceous rock chosen as a reasonable geological barrier in Belgium. A series of research tools such as laboratory experiments, field measurements, theoretical studies, back analysis, and numerical simulations are used to study the mechanical behavior of this rock.
