An engineering procedure for designing the minimum separation between solution mined caverns in bedded salt deposit Is described. The procedure Is based on data obtained by In-situ and laboratory test methods. The formulae utilize the concept that salt rock under high pressure in a deep salt rock deposit would behave as a perfectly plastic substance, and that the active opening surrounding a. typical- cavern could be described by a circular ellipsoid. The paper describes the calculations required for the safe design of a solution mined salt cavern field. |
