Abstract
Laboratory characterization tests as well as thermal and crack modelling simulations are
performed to predict the early-age thermo-mechanical behaviour of the concrete buffer during the different construction stages including casting of the buffer, insertion of the high-level waste and closure of the Supercontainer. Large-scale tests with measurements of temperature, displacement and deformation confirm simulation results, which indicate that no through going cracks are expected during the early construction phase of the Supercontainer buffer.
