The hydro-mechanical behaviour of a clay-based buffer material for nuclear waste disposal has been investigated in a laboratory program. In this program, the main focus was on the influence of confinement on water uptake and swelling pressure during suction decrease. The laboratory program and some

Abstract
The cathodic character of painted or otherwise partially screened steel in seaβwater is explained by the retention behind the pintβfilm of the products of reaction of local corrosion couples. Local anodes behind the film will be suppressed by accumulation of ferrous ions. Alkalinity produced at local cathodes renders the steel passive and so encourages passage of further current in the same direction.
Experiments are described showing that an iron electrode transferred from neutral to alkaline salt solution becomes temporarily anodic, then quickly becomes cathodic as passivity develops.

## Abstract The experimental conditions corresponding to those which are ascertained in a heat exchanger have been reconstructed in laboratory, with the possibility of performing very accurate electrochemical measurements. The electrochemical results have been compared with those derived from the u
Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) in the 50kHz-ImHz frequency range was applied to characterize the corrosion protection behaviour of zinc rich ethyl silicate paints (ZRP) on steel in artificial sea water. The most accurate description of the experimental impedance spectra at the open cir
