Abstract
The MEASURES project’s overarching aim is to generate an experimental database on a well-defined crushed salt material that is used to systematically develop and calibrate constitutive models for crushed salt compaction. The progress made in MEASURES will help to reduce uncertainties and will strengthen the long-term safety case for a repository in rock salt by improving the prognosis quality for the barrier properties of the crushed salt. The MEASURES project started in late 2024; thus, this abstract presents selected research aims and offers an insight into the applied methodology. Background information on the preceding projects will be given to show the progress in crushed salt investigations.
