Harmonising Rock Engineering and the Environment – Qian Zhou (eds) © 2012 Taylor Francis Group, London, ISBN 978-0-415-80444-8 Three-dimensional thermomechanical modelling of backfilling of old mining rooms in the Morsleben repository S. Fahland, R. Eickemeier St. Heusermann Federal Institute for Geosciences and Natural Resources, Hannover, Germany ABSTRACT: Finite-element calculations have been made to analyse the stability of large old mining rooms and the integrity of the salt barrier in the Bartensleben salt mine. In the context of the repository’s closure concept several large old mining rooms were selected to be backfilled in advance with saltcrete in order to stabilise the repository mine and to improve the long-term integrity of the salt barrier. The recent state of stress and deformation around the rooms as well as dilatancy in the salt rock have been investigated taking into account the generation of heat during hydration of saltcrete. Subject: Modelling and numerical methods Keywords : nuclear repository, numerical modelling, stability analysis 1 INTRODUCTION To investigate the thermomechanical loading of rock caused by generation of heat during hydration of saltcrete, three- The Morsleben repository was used from 1972 until 1998 for dimensional finite-element calculations have been carried the disposal of low- and medium-level radioactive wastes.
