Recently, the hydraulic/mechanical/chemical (HMC) analytical method has been studied with the aim of evaluating the long-term performance of Trans-Uranium (TRU) geological repositories. In this particular research, the hydraulic/mechanical modelling of bentonite materials for HMC analyses has been studied, with bentonite materials considered as the engineered barrier. It is said that the bentonite material in the TRU disposal facilities is altered chemically by cement leachate. Moreover, there is a concern that chemical alteration changes the expansion characteristics and water permeability of the bentonite material. In this paper, using past test results, the influence of montmorillonite content and the exchange of sodium and calcium ions on mechanical and hydraulics behaviour is examined. Hydraulic/mechanical mathematical modelling is also presented, describing the mechanical behaviour of bentonite from an initially unsaturated state while also taking into account the hydraulic and mechanical characteristics of bentonite mentioned above. We also simulate the saturation process from an initially unsaturated state in a TRU disposal facility, which is modelled one-dimensionally.
