Abstract
고준위폐기물처분장에 대한 열-수리-역학적 거동 모델링은 처분장의 성능 및 안전성 평가를 위해서 선행되어야 할 중요한 연구과제이다. 본 연구에서는 <TEX>$\ddot{A}$</TEX>sp<TEX>$\ddot{o}$</TEX> 원형처분장의 열적 거동을 해석하고, 현장 실험데이터와의 비교를 통해 모델 계산결과의 타당성을 검증하였다. 모델 시뮬레이션에서는 처분공과 처분터널 및 그 주변 암반에 대한 온도분포를 분석하였다. 현장 실험데이터와의 비교는 처분공 DH-6를 대상으로 수행하였다. 그 결과 모델 계산치는 측정위치에 따라 실험치 보다 약 2-<TEX>$5^{\circ}C$</TEX> 정도 높은 온도값을 보였으나, 온도변이 곡선은 비슷한 패턴을 보여 주었다. 실험치와 모델 계산치의 이러한 차이는 모델에 의한 열적거동 해석에서 암반을 제외한 완충재, 벤토나이트 펠렛, 뒷채움재 내의 수리학적 및 역학적 거동을 고려하지 않았기 때문으로 판단되었다. Thermal-hydro-mechanical (THM) modeling is a critical R&D issue in the performance and safety assessment of a high-level waste repository. With an <TEX>$\ddot{A}$</TEX>sp<TEX>$\ddot{o}$</TEX> prototype repository, its thermal behavior was analyzed and then compared with in-situ experimental data for its validation. A model simulation was used to calculate the temperature distributions in the deposition holes, deposition tunnel, and surrounding host rock. A comparison of the simulation results with the experimental data was made for deposition hole DH-6, which showed that there was a temperature difference of <TEX>$2{\sim}5^{\circ}C$</TEX> depending on the location of the measuring points, but there was a similar trend in the evolution curves of temperature as a function of time. It was expected that the coupled modeling of the thermal behavior with the hydro-mechanical behavior in the buffer and backfill of the <TEX>$\ddot{A}$</TEX>sp<TEX>$\ddot{o}$</TEX> prototype repository would give a better agreement between the experimental and model calculation results.
