The above plots show the variation of horizontal deformation at two different points A and B with time for different Young’s modulus (E), creep constant (a), temperature (T), creep exponent n and depth of the cavern respectively. The dotted lines (- - -) show the variation for the node closer to the cavern (Point A) and the full lines (—) show the variation of deformation (Point B) in the far field of the cavern.
