Sands produced from limestone rock deposits in Algeria contain high proportions of fine 0/100 μm particles (named filler hereafter), which are available in large quantities. This study aims to identify the maximum filler amount which may be added to cementitious materials without performance loss. Performance is quantified here as related to varied properties, either microstructural (density, por...<br/><br/>Y Benachour, C A Davy, F Skoczylas, H Houari (2008) <i>CEMENT AND CONCRETE RESEARCH</i> 38: 6 727-736<br/>

Argillite is considered a privileged candidate for long term nuclear waste storage. Yet argillite rock drilling often induces surface cracks that locally modify its permeability. This phenomenon located in a so-called Excavation Damaged Zone (EDZ) is of importance since permeability increase means lesser confinement capacity of the argillite rock. Potentially influencial phenomena occur when argil...<br/><br/>C A Davy, F Skoczylas, J D Barnichon, P Lebon (2007) <i>PHYSICS AND CHEMISTRY OF THE EARTH</i> 32: 8-14 667-680<br/>

To better understand the behaviour of sugar within industrial centrifuges or silos, drained triaxial tests were performed on loose, dry or moist sugar aggregates under low confining pressures (15–90 kPa). Particular attention is paid to test reproducibility and grain damage level. Rowe's stress-dilatancy theory is used to improve characterisation of the critical state, at which the aggregate of ...<br/><br/>C A Davy, M D Bolton, N A Fleck (2004) <i>ACTA MATERIALIA</i> 52: 12 3587-3601<br/>

This paper is aimed at describing the evolution of newly formed bone density and microarchitecture after implantation of an Injectable Bone Substitute (IBS). Cancellous bone growth (rabbit) is described as dependent of IBS formulation parameters. Possible improvements to the IBS formulation are finally discussed.<br/><br/>C A Davy, O Gauthier, M F Lucas, P Pilet, B Lamy, P Weiss, G Daculsi, J M Bouler (2004) <i>BIOCERAMICS 16</i> 254-2: 55-58<br/>

A multiaxial failure criterion is validated for a brittle orthotropic composite, namely a tridirectional carbon–carbon composite (3D C---C). It is aimed at designers of 3D C---C structures. The composite is subjected to a triaxial strain state along its reinforcement axes, which is representative of its in-service loading conditions. A multiaxial test rig is designed in order to reproduce this r...<br/><br/>C Davy, D Marquis (2003) <i>MATERIALS & DESIGN</i> 24: 1 15-24<br/>

This paper investigates the effect of finite specimen size upon the tensile failure of a tridirectional carbon-carbon composite along each reinforcement axis. Asymmetry in the position of load-bearing axial yarns across the cross-section is generated randomly by machining. This yields parasitic bending of the specimen, and thereby premature failure of the yarns subjected to the maximum bending str...<br/><br/>C Davy, D Marquis (2003) <i>JOURNAL OF MATERIALS SCIENCE</i> 38: 6 1231-1238<br/>

Among diversified industrial uses, see for instance [Koch, Appl.Clay Sci., (21) 2002], compacted bentonite blocks are potential candidates for sealing nuclear waste repositories. Indeed, when put in place in a wet environment such as that considered for nuclear waste repositories, sodium bentonite swells. Following positive in situ experiments, bentonite is reputed ensuring proper repository ...<br/><br/>Catherine A Davy, F Skoczylas, P Lebon, T Dubois () <i>Applied Clay Science</i> In Press, Accepted Manuscript: <br/>
