Hydraulic Test in DH-13 Borehole

Hirata, Yoichi*; Suzuki, Yoshimasa*; Ogawa, Ken*; Fujii, Makoto*

In this investigation, the hydraulic test, pumping up and analysis of the underground water were carried out in the deep geology of DH-13 borehole like rock mass or dislocation or broken layer that limits the flow of underground water as one of the study for that flow in the wide area.These investigations were executed to underground the properties of the deep hydraulics and underground water.In this hydraulic test, the method which is popular among foreign countries was applied - some unsteady and steady tests are carried in one test section continuously. By this method, the change of the rock or pore water pressure and the hydraulic conductivity of the main rock were obtained. The results of recovery in steady test (these were not effected by artificial or mechanical means) were applied for the representation. And the water pressure after all test applied for the pore water pressures.The underground water was used for analysis that was pumped up in the process of the steady test. These were no clear change in that results of the analysis among each test section.
