Geomechanic Properties<br />

Strength <strong>and</strong> deformation parameters were measured in:<br />

• A novel triaxial apparatus of RWE power with high-resolution measurement of volume<br />

change, in the construction of which the IBF was significantly involved <strong>and</strong> which was<br />

loaned to IBF for these investigations,<br />

• A large-scale triaxial cell for samples of 600 mm diameter <strong>and</strong> 1200 mm length,<br />

• Uni-axial compression with real sample deformation monitoring by DMS.<br />

The reservoir<br />

formation in<br />

Ketzin is<br />

s<strong>and</strong>stone <strong>and</strong><br />

the cap rock a<br />

Keuper claystone<br />

with visco-elastic<br />

behaviour. As<br />

long as cores<br />

from Ketzin were<br />

not yet available,<br />

experiments<br />

were also<br />

performed<br />

• on artificial<br />

compacted<br />

bentonite<br />

samples<br />

Triaxial apparatus with high-resolution volume monitoring<br />

Bentonite sample, Ketzin small-scall sample, claystone larg-scale sample after failure<br />

• on a similar Keuper claystone from Southern Germany.<br />

Comparison of results from small-sized <strong>and</strong> large-sized samples shows no significant<br />

scale effects.
