Recently a multiple-purpose utilization of heated water which is produced by utilizing the exhausted heat from waste incineration equipment, solar energy and geothermal energy, is now being put into practice in Japan. One of the possible measures is temporary storage of heated water which is sent up from underground openings excavated in rock mass near the ground-surface. In this case, as the rock mass around openings would be affected by heated water, the stability of openings is an important problem. To investigate this problem, we need to know the strength and deformation characteristics of rocks affected by heated water. This paper describes change of rocks strength and deformation that were measured in heated water and at high temperature.
