Introductory hydrogeological and gas tightness tests in Cavern A, Roeda Sten

Abstract

The following report describes tests carried out in cavern A, RSRL between May and October, 1991. The main purpose with the tests was firstly to establish a hydrogeological model of the rock mass and secondly to investigate the air leakages from a pressurized cavern. Another purpose was to study if these leakage rates can be estimated from hydrogeological parameters. The hydrogeological model is based on different types of well tests and evaluation techniques. The results from these tests can be seen in section 5 and the hydrogeological model based on the results is explained in section 7.1. Sections 2 and 4 also explain the monitoring and calculations related to the air leakage tests. The results are presented in section 6; in section 7.2 an air leakage model of the rock mass is presented. Finally, in section 7.3, a brief description of the hydromechanical behavior in the rock mass is presented. During loading tests of the cavern with water, part of the rock mass probably experienced a jacking phenomenon. Since these tests were focused on deformations within the rock mass for different pressures, only general conclusions can be made from the data. Still, the phenomenon seems worth discussing even in this  More>>
