Possibilities of judging underground caverns based on the mathematical modelling

Abstract

A basic assumption of utilizing salt caverns as underground storages is ensuring their safety and geotechnical stability. The paper shows on example possibilities of mathematical modelling of solution stability salt caverns in Zbudza. It includes a geotechnical description of the deposit, its geotechnical properties, grid of geometry definition, and the way of definition of stress-strain relations. In conclusion,the reached results are shown.
