A concrete shaft liner design methodology for nuclear waste repositories
Abstract
Considerations important to design of cast-in-pl ace concrete liners for repository shafts are discussed. Requirements for repository shaft liners and design criteria appropriate to those requirements are presented. Types of loads acting on a liner and modes of deformation are discussed. Methods are proposed for calculating load magnitudes and liner stresses and for evaluating liner performance.
