This research presents the hydro-mechanical behavior of EDZ in shaft sinking in the Horonobe underground Research Laboratory on the basis of the results of in situ hydraulic tests, acoustic emission (AE) measurements, and hydro-mechanical coupling numerical analysis. The AE sources were distributed within 1.5 m into the shaft wall; and hydraulic conductivity in the EDZ is 2 to 4 orders of magnitudes higher than that in no fractured area. On the other hand, on the basis of the result of numerical analysis, the maximum extent of the EDZ is 1.5 m into the gallery wall. This result is almost consistent with the trend of acoustic emission measurement and hydraulic test.

This report presents the results of shaft and gallery excavation performed focusing on crystalline rock (Mizunami) and sedimentary rock (Horonobe) from the point of view of construction technologies applied and the information obtained at respective construction stages, which is required for construction designing Facility construction in general, its goal is to build the facilities and the general and accrual designs are made based on the specific construction plan, while the construction of shafts and research galleries is being conducted based on the research plan. This construction is performed in the deep underground where significant uncertainties exit, for instance, it is difficult to obtain the precision information from preliminary investigation, construction work is inextricability liked to the stepwise research, and this very long-term construction period is likely to be receiving restrictions concerning environmental and social interests. Therefore, there are a number of conditions can not to be predicted at the initial design stage. Timely and appropriate actions will be taken to deal with these particular conditions, such as changing on design due to the revision of the research and construction plan while conducting excavation construction. In the series of construction activities: from input (i.e. construction conditions) to completion of the construction under the particular conditions, we summarize the experiences obtained at respective construction stages as the important information to transfer the technology to the similar construction in the future. This report describes the general consideration and summary of chapters at the beginning, and introduces the construction activities performed at each rock series.

This report describes a summary of the workshop on SEE project (Shaft Excavation Effects Project). The workshop was held in Toki-city on, 30 November 1992. The purpose of this workshop is to summarize the results of SEE project, and to exchange information and to promote mutual understanding between research workers of universities, private corporations and staff of PNC. These proceedings reproduce the papers presented at the workshop, together with a summary of the discussions and copies of all papers that are concerned with SEE project and are currently published.

As a result of underground excavation to construct an underground facility, an excavation disturbed zone (EDZ) is often generated in rock mass around a shaft and a drift. In order to design and construct an underground facility, and to evaluate its long-term stability, it is necessary to understand the phenomena related to excavation disturbance. PNC (Power Reacter and Nuclear Fuel Development Corporation) excavated a shaft of 6m diameter and 152.3m depth in Neogene sedimentary rocks, and studied the influence induced by the shaft excavation on rock mass and groundwater flow around the shaft. This project was named SEE (Shaft Excavation Effects) project, and was carried out from 1978 to 1991. This report described a part of the SEE Project, focusing on mechanical and hydrological variation of rock mass around the shaft. The current conclusions were su㎜arized as follows: (1)Mechanical and hydrological variation of rock mass around the shaft was induced by stress redistribution and fracturing around the shaft. (2)The zone where mechanical and hydrological characteristics were varied was extended about 1m from shaft wall. (3)It is considered that unrecoverable deformation is generated in rock mass around a shaft because of fracturing and plastic deformation. We introduced a concept of permanent deformation modulus to take account of the unrecoverable deformation, and estimated the results of borehole jack tests. Consequently, we found the permanent deformation modulus was useful to identify the EDZ.

In order to develop the methodology and equipment for hydrogeological investigation, a study on regional groundwater flow has been carried out by PNC (Power Reactor and Nuclear Fuel Development Corporation) around the Tono area located in the southeast of Gifu prefecture, central Japan. Within this study, three kinds of analytical study concerning the three dimentional groundwater flow are being carried out; (1)Regional groundwater flow analysis in the area of 10 kilometers square with 1000 meter depth. (2)Local groundwater flow analysis around the experimental shaft to examine the effect of shaft excavation in the area of 300 meters square with 300 meter depth. (3)Also effect analysis on the groundwater flow considering the relaxation of rock mass due to the shaft excavation in the restricted small area of 20 meters with 50 meters depth. According to the above study of groundwater flow analysis, the properties of developing analytical code of TAGSAC (Three Dimentional Analysis of Groundwater Flow, Saitama University Code) using FEM method under saturated or unsaturated condition are presented by following fivefold; (1)The utility background of TAGSAC (2)The analysis examples by TAGSAC (3)The governing equation used in TAGSAC and the handling of the equation in unsaturated condition (4)The problems and improving plan for TAGSAC (5)The programme source of TAGSAC
