Comparison of calculations and in situ results for a large, heated test room at the Waste Isolation Pilot Plant (WIPP)
In summary, through thermal/structural calculations and detailed comparisons of the results of a large scale, in situ heated experiment at the WIPP facility, it should be possible to validate the temperature dependence of room deformation. The experiment, when used in conjunction with an identical experimental room which was unheated, is very specific to only the thermal portions of the calculational model. 4 refs., 6 figs.
