It is concluded that in the absence of major geologic discontinuities the deep disposal of radioactive waste may be technically feasible.

PZ99- 2o7 Pan elastic-plastic model of rock or soil is assumed for which the yield condition depends on hydrostatic pressure and varying material density or porosity. The problem of comvcession of a finite rectangular pillar between two rigid plates is treated numerically in plane strain conditions by applying the 'initial stress' finite element incremental technique. The development of softening and hardening zones within the pillar is studied and related to the load carrying capacity of the pillar. Auth.
