ABSTRACT
A paper present new SubCav© software for the computation of coefficients for surface and rock mass deformation caused by the convergence of salt caverns for storing liquid or gaseous energy carriers. This software was based on analytical solutions taking into account new theoretical achievements and the current results of in situ measurements. New method of calculating deformation coefficients for any point situated in the overlying rock mass or on the ground surface is presented. Despite necessary geometrical and physical idealisations related to the cavern geometry, course of convergence and phases of operation, comparative computations performed for the EPE cavern field with its 114 caverns, have fully confirmed the value and the integrity of the presented solution.
