Upscaling hydro-mechanical

HYDRO-MECHANICAL UPSCALING OF A FRACTURED ROCKMASS USING A 3D NUMERICAL APPROACH... [Pg.275]

A new upscaling method has been proposed by INERIS to determine the equivalent hydro mechanical properties of a fractured rock-mass. This method is based on the 3D numerical simulations of the behaviour of a "sample" of fractured rock-mass submitted to different hydromechanical boundary conditions. The simulations are defined in order to determine the equivalent permeability, stiffness and Biot tensor of a fractured rock-mass. [Pg.275]
