High-temperature uniaxial and triaxial compression tests on URL rock samples from boreholes 209-018-EXT4 and 209-030-DIL1. Report No. MRL 90-109(TR)
As part of the Canadian Nuclear Fuel Waste Management Program concerned with the long-term disposal of high level nuclear wastes in vaults located at depth in plutonic rocks, AECL Research has constructed the underground research laboratory (URL) located near to Lac du Bonnet, Manitoba to provide a representative environment in which large-scale geotechnical and hydrogeological investigations can be conducted. A series of ambient room and high temperature uniaxial and triaxial compression tests were conducted on grey granitic core samples obtained from 2 boreholes at the 240 level of the URL. Twelve sets of tests were carried out at 3 temperatures (21C-25C, 75C and 125C) and 4 confining pressures (0, 3.5, 17 and 35 MPa) to study the thermo-mechanical properties of the grey granite.
