1Back analysis of road tunnel (time-dependent behaviour)
Definition of time dependent parameters:
• Short term: from tunnel behaviour 35 m behind the face (5 days)
rock support provided only by systematic bolting
(convergence 6-9 cm)
• Medium term: from convergence before casting of final lining at a
distance of round 500 m behind the face (70 days)
(convergence 14-18 cm)
• Long term: from pressure acting on lining after 25 years
(radial pressure 25-50 t/m2)

1Main characteristics of calc-schists
• Time-dependent behaviour of rock mass (displacements)
• Tendency to wedge instability on roof
• Anisotropy of rock mass properties (effect of schistosity)
• Reduction of rock mass strength after failure
• No water circulation in the rock mass (OK for cavern stability
and thermal losses during reservoir operation)

1Geomechanical feasibility
•GLACIER, LENA and MEMPHYS option are feasible at Fréjus site. The
overall stability of the cavern is assured. A support is however
required
for wedge stability.
•The geomechanical feasibility remains valid also by a small change of
the
size of the excavation, both in the diameter and height of the cavern.
•The geomechanical conditions at Frejus are well known and further
investigations are basically not required. The safety tunnel under
construction will provide further information.
•The support system proposed guarantees the long term stability and the
absence of significant time dependent displacement of the cavity.
•The support system proposed has sufficient reserve to ensure the
stability
of the cavern in case of earthquake.

1Steel tank in contact with rock mass
• The rock loads are supported by the concrete lining and will not be
transferred on the steel tank.
• The water from the rock mass can cause an external load on the
imperious tank (even if apparently the rock is dry). To avoid this
type of load, it is necessary to design an external drainage system.
• The earthquake is not a problem for the steel tank, if there is not an
active fault crossing the cavern (atypical situation).

1Technical feasibility – Tank construction
• Unit cost reaches 180 – 210 €/ m3; Fréjus safety tunnel: 310 €/ m3.
• The solution with tank placed in contact with the rock mass is feasible at Fréjus
site for LENA and MEMPHYS option. For GLACIER option an independent tank
is preferable.
• The solution with tank placed in contact with the rock mass can save the
amount of steel needed (7‘200 kg for MEMPHYS option, 3‘600 kg for LENA
option).
• Both the solution with the insulation and without insulation are feasible at Fréjus
site.

1General conclusions for Frejus
• The Frejus site allows to host all the detectors options proposed within LAGUNA,
i.e. GLACIER, LENA and MEMPHYS.
• The rock mass behavior was deeply investigated (during highway tunnel and now
safety tunnel) allowing to minimize the uncertainties and the risks related to the
realization of further underground cavities.
• The excellent quality of the rock, with the appropriate amount of plasticity, allows the
excavation of very large cavities at a depth of 4800 m w.e., which is the deepest in
Europe (for an underground laboratory).
• The Fréjus safety tunnel, presently under construction, provides an optimal and
completely safe access to the site during both construction and operation (whole
life-time, e.g. 50 years).
• The Frejus rescue team, permanently in service, ensure the highest safety support
both in the tunnel and in the laboratory.
• The accessibility of the Frejus site is excellent (by road or train from many
international cities as Torino, Chambery, Lyon, Genève, Milano, Paris).
