In-situ Measurements of Time-dependent Rock Deformations at the Waste Isolation Pilot Plant in USA

미국 Waste Isolation Pilot Plant에서의 시간변동 거동 계측

  • Published : 1999.09.01

Abstract

Systematic measurements in the field are the key component in the design process to ensure that optimal and safe designs result. The instruments installed at the Waste Isolation Pilot Plant, a underground nuclear waste repository in U.S., for measuring rock deformation was reviewed. Also discussions about installation and measurement for better understanding the complex time-dependent deformational behavior of underground excavation were made.

현장에서의 체계적인 측정자료는 최적의 안전한 설계를 위한 중요한 정보라 할 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 미국의 방사성폐기물 저장 시설인 Waste Isolation Pilot Plant(WIPP)에서 수행된 현장 측정 기법들에 대해 고찰하였다. 또한 지하구조물의 시간 의존적인 복잡한 거동을 이해하기 위해서 필요한 측정기기의 설치와 측정에 대하여 논의하였다.
