It is very important to predict the extent of EDZ (excavation disturbed zone) and the behavior of hydraulic conductivity after excavation of shafts and tunnels for geological disposal of radioactive waste. In this study, we attempted to reproduce the in-situ tunnel excavation test and the subsequent permeability test at the Horonobe Underground Research Laboratory (URL) using a three-dimensional tunnel excavation simulator. As a result, similar results to the in-situ tests were obtained for the extent of EDZ propagation by excavation and the results of permeability tests. The simulator is effective in predicting the mechanical effects of excavation, coupled phenomena such as deformation and seepage, and hydraulic conductivity in deep mudstones in Japan.

When the durability of the geological repository of high-level radioactive waste is evaluated, understanding the cracking behavior within the crystalline/sedimentary rocks during excavation of waste disposal cavities is important. In this study, we performed a numerical analysis that expressed the tunnel excavation carried out 350 m underground at the Horonobe Underground Research Center of the Japan Atomic Energy Agency. Simulated results are agreement with actual trends of fracture propagation, and the measured horizontal convergence of the tunnel was reproduced by the numerical analysis relatively well.
