Abstract

ABSTRACTThis paper reports the coupled thermo-hydro-mechanical (THM) analyses of the “in situ” test carried out during the pre-operational stage of the FEBEX project. The determination of parameters has been performed using the results of the characterization stage and other available information. The results of the analyses provide a good understanding of expected test behaviour. This understanding is enhanced by the performance of a quite extensive programme of 1-D sensitivity analyses in which the values of critical parameters are varied. Two dimensional effects are discussed on the basis of the results of 2-D axisymmetric THM analyses carried out using a longitudinal section that provides a better representation of real test geometry.
