Title: Results of an accelerated borehole closure testing program at Avery Island: Topical report RSI-0211

Abstract

This report presents the results of an accelerated borehole closure testing program conducted in the ONWI test facility in the Avery Island salt mine. The accelerated borehole closure tests were a part of a field testing program at Avery Island to provide data on the thermomechanical response of domal salt when subjected to conditions similar to those expected in a high-level nuclear waste repository. The primary objective of the accelerated borehole closure test is to provide data that can be used for validation of the numerical methods used to predict the creep behavior of salt. Two series of accelerated borehole closure tests were performed. The first of these (Phase I) was conducted during 1980, and the second (Phase II) was conducted during 1981 and 1982. 5 refs., 19 figs., 2 tabs.
