Comparison of calculations and in situ results for a large, heated test room at the Waste Isolation Pilot Plant (WIPP)*
31st U.S. Symposium on Rock Mechanics, USRMS 1990
The closure measurements from a large scale, heated, in situ experimental room in salt are compared to numerical calculations using the most recent predictive technology, with very good agreement, limited potentially only by the unmodeled roof fracture and separation.
