Armand, A. Noiret, M. Cruchaudet Nathalie Conil National Radioactive Waste Management Agency, Centre de Meuse Haute-Marne, Bure, France ABSTRACT: In the frame work of feasibility study of deep repository in a claystone, it is interesting to perform in situ Mine-by experiment in order to characterize excavation-induced damage and determine relationships governing the behavior of a rock mass. This paper presents the concept of the mine-by experiment performed at the main level of the Meuse Haute-Marne underground research laboratory in the Callovo-Oxfordian claystone. The support is ensured by an 18 cm thick fibre reinforced shotcrete shell, interrupted by 12 yieldable concrete wedges in order to let squeezing of the drift. The first hydro mechanical results recorded during the digging of a 60 m long circular drift are presented and discussed. Subject: Hydro mechanical behavior of claystone, Keywords : mine-by experiment, in situ experiment, claystone, hydro mechanical behavior, excavated damaged zone 1 INTRODUCTION In 2000, the French national radioactive waste man- agement agency (ANDRA) started to build an under- ground research laboratory (URL) at Bure (East of the Paris sedimentary basin) to perform experiments in order to get in situ data necessary to demonstrate feasibility of geo- logical repository in a claystone. The main objective of the research was to characterize the confining properties of
