In this paper, we described the development of the supporting tool of observational construction of the underground research laboratory, and the monitoring result of hydro-mechanical properties around the gallery wall. As an observational construction tool, we developed a "3D geological structure/construction data visualization system". The geological data, measurement data, construction data, and prediction analysis results are visualized and integrated comprehensively as the construction proceeds. The planned support pattern was examined according to the visualized data. In addition, the Excavation Damaged Zone (EDZ) was extended within 1.0 m from the gallery wall. In this area, hydraulic conductivity was enhanced. However, the extent of the EDZ was not enlarged along with time; the stability of the support was also confirmed on the basis of the measurement of stress in the shotcrete. Integrating these results the observational construction considering the development of an EDZ can be established. This technology will have an important role in geological disposal of high-level radioactive waste.

The buffer material is expected to maintain its low water permeability, self-sealing properties, radionuclides adsorption and retardation properties, thermal conductivity, chemical buffering properties, overpack supporting properties, stress buffering properties, etc. over a long period of time. Natural clay is mentioned as a material that can relatively satisfy above. Among the kinds of natural clay, bentonite when compacted is superior because (1)it has exceptionally low water permeability and properties to control the movement of water in buffer, (2)it fills void spaces in the buffer and fractures in the host rock as it swells upon water uptake, (3)it has the ability to exchange cations and to adsorb cationic radioelements. In order to confirm these functions for the purpose of safety assessment, it is necessary to evaluate buffer properties through laboratory tests and engineering-scale tests, and to make assessments based on the ranges in the data obtained. This report describes the procedures, test conditions, results and examinations on the buffer material of dynamic triaxial tests, measurement of elastic wave velocity and liquefaction tests that aim at getting hold of dynamic mechanical properties. MWe can get hold of dependency on the shearing strain of the shearing modulus and hysteresis damping constant, the application for the mechanical model etc. by dynamic triaxial tests, the acceptability of maximum shearing modulus obtained from dynamic triaxial tests etc. by measurement of elastic wave velocity and dynamic strength caused by cyclic stress etc. by liquefaction tests.

This report is one of the case studies that were carried out in order to contribute to the research and evaluation methods development of the impact of massive earthquakes in deep underground geological environment. We report the results of analysis of the changes in elastic wave velocity before and after relatively large-scale earthquake, by using elastic wave measurement data the period from 2005 to 2014. That measurement are continued for more than 20 years, in Iwate Prefecture Kamaishi mine tunnel which close to the epicenter of the off the Pacific coast Tohoku Earthquake.

This paper is described about the results of collaboration study between Nishimatsu cop. and JAEA to estimate the applicability of high resolution elastic wave velocity measurement for understanding of a groundwater flow. The measurement was carried out in the vicinity of the groundwater recovery test drift in MIU and it continued for about three month from just after starting at the drainage of the test drift. The results suggested that the elastic wave velocity change were measured with groundwater flow due to drainage of the test drift and the high resolution elastic wave velocity measurement can be applicable for understanding of groundwater flow.
