ABSTRACT

ABSTRACT: Through analysis of geomechanical mechanisms controlling deformation and fracture development around excavations in bedded salt, analysis of ten years of geomechanical instrument data, and direct monitoring of a large roof fall, a basis for roof fall monitoring and prediction has been developed for excavations at the Waste Isolation Pilot Plant.
