Effect of squeezing on construction and structural safety of the Swiss high-level radioactive waste repository drifts

The deep geological repository for radioactive waste in Switzerland will be embedded in an approximately 100 m thick layer of Opalinus Clay. The emplacement drifts for high-level waste (approximately 3.5 m diameter) are planned to be excavated with a shielded tunnel boring machine (TBM) and supporte...
