In the rock mechanical investigations, the research aims at "Characterization of geological environment in the Excavation Disturbed Zone (EDZ)" from the viewpoint of safety assessment. For the research, the specific data of the EDZ. The research also aims at "Characterization of geomechanical stability around tunnel " from the viewpoint of design and construction of underground facilities. This report presents the results of following rock mechanical investigations conducted at the GL.-300m and GL.-400m Level of Research Galley. (1) Laboratory tests using core and block samples obtained at the GL.-300m and GL.-400m Level of Research Galley, (2) Measurement of Compact Conical-ended Boerhole Overcoring (CCBO) method at the GL.-300m Level of Research Galley, (3) In-situ stress measurements using core-based methods at the GL.- 300m Stage.
