The sectional elevation identifies Section 1 to Section 17 along the specimen height. Dashed horizontal lines mark section boundaries. A central vertical element passes through the specimen. Instrumentation locations appear at multiple levels, with highlighted markers at Section 5, Section 7, Section 9, Section 12, Section 14, and Section 15. The cross-sectional diagrams correspond to Section 1 to Section 17. Section 1 contains P B 901, P B 902, and U B 901. Section 2 contains W B 901, W B 902, U B 902, and F R 901. Section 3 contains P C 901 and F C T. Section 4 contains P R 903 to P R 906 and U R 903 to U R 906. Section 5 contains F L 901 to F L 904, P R 907 to P R 910, and U R 907 to U R 910. Section 6 contains P C 902. Section 7 contains F M 905 to F M 908, P R 911 to P R 914, and U R 911 to U R 914. Section 8 contains P C 903. Section 9 contains F L 909 to F L 912, P R 915 to P R 918, and U R 915 to U R 918. Section 10 contains P R 919 to P R 922 and U R 919 to U R 922. Section 11 contains W R 903 and W R 904. Section 12 contains F B 903. Section 13 contains P B 923, P B 924, P B 925, P B 926, and F R 902. Section 14 and Section 15 contain U B 923, U B 924, W B 905, W B 906, and F B 904. Section 16 contains U B 925, U B 926, and W B 907. Section 17 contains P B 927, P B 928, and P B 929. A scale bar indicates 1 metre.Location of all sensors at 17 intervals in the deposition hole. Note: FCT = full canister test filter; PC = total stress sensor on canister surface; PR = total stress sensor at rock wall; PB = total stress sensor within the buffer; UR = pore water pressure at the rock wall; UB = pore water pressure within the buffer; WR = relative humidity; FB = filter mat between bentonite segments; FR = filter mat at the rock wall; Can = position of the canister
