Neue Aspekte zum Tragverhaiten von Salzkavernen und zu ihrem geotechnischen Sicherheitsnachweis: Teil 1: Theoretische Ansätze

The introduction of more recent developments in the field of salt mechanics into design concepts for the construction of salt caverties, particularly in the field of 'material models, reduces some previous knowledge deficits. This seems to set out the scientific foundation for a more economical cavern design while keeping the same level of safety. The followin g pape r introduces the major statements worked out by the authors about the further development of salt cavern dimensioning as well as practice-oriented exemplary calculations.
