The conditions in deep salt strata can be considered as near hydrostatic. The l~-essure field and creep around t h e single opening is a function of its sha~e size and age. The same factors, together with extraction, determine the behavlour of the m i n i ~ ~tl~ea.

Investigations in the site area of a proposed underground power station are reported. 12 exploratory holes were drilled and values for the directions and magnitudes of the principal stresses of the In-situ stress field were obtained from tests with a trlaxial rock stress measuring cell. Flat-Jack tests were carried out to yield the following information elastic constants, s t r e r ~ constants, arzl maximum principal stress. Finite e l ~ n t analysis was used to calculate the stress distribution around the excavation. Data frOm the tests used are presented.

The method has also shown significant econOmic advantages. It is believed that the development of this concept is one of the few examples ~here rock mechardcs principles have successfully been applied in the development of a stoping method.
