“…The spreadsheet digital information was obtained from numerous sources including the basic data reports for the characterization boreholes, hydrologichydraulic testing reports, potash resource test drilling reports, and other DOE, USGS, Sandia, and private industry reports (see Hill et al (1997) for a comprehensive list of these sources). The Excel file was slightly modified to include a unique identification number for each borehole location point (consisting of an X and a Y value).…”

“…The device is also limited by its maximum load capacity of 400kN. 2.3 Friction Spring Seismic Damper [42], [43] The friction spring seismic damper is similar to the EDR in the sense that the restoring force is provided by a spring. However, this damper utilizes friction ring springs instead of a coil spring.…”

“…This means a brace utilizing ring springs does not necessarily require an additional energy dissipation mechanism, which is the case with most other SCED braces discussed previously. Due to these properties, some previous research studied the use of ring springs in earthquake engineering applications [42], [45], [62]- [67]. These studies investigated the use of ring springs either as a damper with lower load capacity, or as a rocking system which is difficult to implement in rehabilitation scenarios.…”

“…The following discussion examines previous research done on the implementation of ring springs in self-centering structural applications. [42] The first published application of the utilization of ring springs for a structural seismic application was conducted by Hill [42] and it involved the design and testing of a bidirectional ring spring cartridge. The ring springs used had an axial load capacity of 20 kN.…”

Abstract:The Waste Isolation Pilot Plant (WIPP) is a US Department of Energy (DOE) facility for the permanent disposal of defense-related transuranic (TRU) waste. US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) regulations specify that the DOE must demonstrate on a sound basis that the WIPP disposal system will effectively contain long-lived alpha-emitting radionuclides within its boundaries for 10,000 years following closure. In 1996, the DOE submitted the 40 CFR The 1996 WIPP PA model of the disposal system included conceptual and mathematical representations of key hydrologic and geochemical processes. These key processes were identified over a 22-year period involving data collection, data interpretation, computer models, and sensitivity studies to evaluate the importance of uncertainty and of processes that were difficult to evaluate by other means. Key developments in the area of geochemistry were the evaluation of gas generation mechanisms in the reposito~, For submittal to Reliability Engineering and System SafetyThe WIPP is a DOE facility for the permanent disposal of defense-related TRU waste.The facility is located about 42 km east of the town of Carlsbad in southeastern NewMexico ( properties of the Salado, primarily its geologic stability and its isolation capability.lg However, regulations specifi that performance of the WIPP shall be predicted based on extrapolating current land-use practices in the vicinity of WIPP to 10,000 years. 18'6Furthermore, although administrative controls will be implemented and passive markers will be built to deter incompatible activities, the EPA regulations require the assumption that controls and markers are ineffective beyond 100 years after closure.18>Becausepotash and hydrocarbon resources occur in the WD?P vicinity and are currently being developed and extracted, predictions of WIPP performance must include the potential effects of such development inside the disposal system. These considerations lead to the disturbed-performance (or human-intrusion) scenario as the dominant factor in evaluating compliance with the EPA regulations (Figure 3). In the 1996 WIPP PA, the disturbed- Conceptual models describe with words and diagrams the processes that occur within the disposal system (or have a reasonable likelihood of occurring). It is recognized that conceptual models can be formulated at varying levels of complexity and realism, and this has occurred on the WIPP Project. In many cases, the conceptual models developed to explain detailed observations are much more complicated than the conceptual models explicitly represented in the 1996 WIPP PA.
