Assessment on Bearing Capacity of Buffer Material to Overpack

Hirai, Takashi; Tanai, Kenji ; Kikuchi, Hirohito*; Takaji, Kazuhiko*; Onuma, Satoshi*

The objective of this report is to clarify the characteristics of the bearing capacity of the buffer material against the deformation of the overpack in the engineered barrier system. In the second progress report by JNC, it was reported that the well designed engineered barrier system is stable and safety on mechanical support of the overpack to ensure stability and stress which acts on the overpack by some analysis. However, the degree of the capacity to the ultimate state and the background datas of the design are not necessary clarified in the report. Therefore it is considered to be mportant to assess the ultimate state and make the relationship clear between deformation and bearing capacity of the overpack in the engineered barrier system. So the scale test and the simulation analysis were carried out for the longitudinal deformation of the overpack in the saturated buffer material constrained by the host rock. From the result of the scale test and the analysis it appears that the bearing capacity is increasing with the deformation of the overpack even if the bearing capacity is over the yielding force and the relationship between deformation and bearing capacity can be approximately expressed by the simple fanction.
