Outline of Final Research Achievements

In this report, laboratory element tests on green tuff and man-made rock were systematically conducted to clarify the mechanical behavior of geomaterials related to geological repository problem of HLRW. Based on the test results, thermal-elasto-viscoplastic constitutive models for saturated/unsaturated geomaterials were proposed. Then, a finite element-finite difference scheme (FE-FD) for thermo-hydro-mechanical-air coupling problems with multi-phase field equations is proposed. Meanwhile, model tests on creep behavior of repository tunnel made of the man-made rock were also conducted to investigate the long-term stability problem. While, numerical analyses using the proposed method were simultaneously conducted to simulate the model tests. Furthermore, an in-situ deep geological repository of HLRW with both saturated/unsaturated geomaterials is simulated. It is concluded that the original purpose of the research is achieved.
