Test Case 6: illustration of the contours for heterogeneous domain with an interlayer of Bischofite. (a–e) show the contours when the interlayer is in the middle of the vertical dimension. (g–k) show the contours when the interlayer is near the floor of the cavern. (a,g) show the von Mises stress distribution. (b,c) show the horizontal deformation distribution at initial and final time-steps, respectively. (h,i) show the horizontal deformation distribution at initial and final time-steps, respectively. (d,e,j,k) show the variation of horizontal and vertical deformation with time for simulation period of 50 days.
