Fig. 12From: Coupled hydraulic-mechanical simulation of seasonally induced processes in the Mont Terri rock laboratory (Switzerland)Decrease in the compressive stresses after 7 years of atmospheric influence (top horizontal stresses; bottom vertical stresses) in the winter. Zones are shown where the change in the stresses is more than 1 MPa. The results in winter in this context represent the worst case. The resaturation in summer will lead to lower valuesBack to article page
