Abstract

- As part of the international DECOVALEX III project and the European BENCHPAR project, this paper evaluates the impact of thermal-hydrological-mechanical (THM) couplings on the performance of a bentonite back-filled nuclear waste repository in sparsely fractured hard rock. The significance of THM coupling on the performance of a hypothetical repository is evaluated by several independent coupled numerical analyses. Moreover, the influence of a discrete fracture intersecting a deposition hole is discussed. The analysis shows that THM couplings have the most impact on the mechanical behaviour of bentonite-rock system, which is important for repository design considerations.
