This paper describes the characterization of the rock mass and how data obtained has been used to make a discrete fracture network (DFN) model and to calculate an up-scaled equivalent continuous porous media model for the purpose of numerical simulation of the grout injection process. DFN models have been constructed using mainly the BTV and hydraulic test data from the boreholes drilled in this project. The generated DFN model and the up-scaled model was able to reproduce the measured fracture characteristics as well as the hydraulic behavior observed in the field and has proven to be suitable for modeling grouting behavior. DFN model has been gradually refined step by step with the site characterization stages: the preparative stage in 2009, pre-investigation stage in 2010 and grouting test stage in 2011. Each version of the DFN model shows the understanding of the geological environment and identifies issues to be resolved in the next stage. The DFN models proved to be an essential tool for the site characterization program planning process, such as identifying the best layout of subsequent boreholes and placement of test intervals.

Grouting is commonly used to decrease the hydraulic conductivity of the fractured rock masses and control the groundwater inflow. Since underground facilities were constructed in various geological conditions, different types of grout material and mixing/injection methods were developed for effective and economical grout injection. It is also important to evaluate the grout arrival distance and the range of altered hydraulic conductivity field after grout injection. However, the mechanism of grout injection process has not been clarified sufficiently yet due to complicated chemical and physical processes of grout. In this study, to simulate the grout injection process, the three-dimensional numerical model based on equivalent continuum approach was developed and applied to the in-situ grout injection tests at Grimsel test site, Switzerland. In the simulations, the injection pressure and/or injection rate was given as a boundary condition and total amount of injected grout (silica sol) was calculated. The simulation results were also compared with the ones obtained from in-situ measurements/monitoring and show qualitatively good agreement.

In this research work, the grout injection model of single fracture, in which non-Newtonian fluid and the inertia term are considered, has been developed. Then, the grout injection experiments of single fracture have been conducted and the numerical simulations have been also carried out. As compared our proposed model with past one, the remarkable difference in grout penetration could not be clearly observed. On the other hand, the difference in pressure at aperture entrance and penetration velocity of the grout could be clearly observed. Our proposed model could show the practical behavior against previous model. Moreover, it can be also confirmed that viscosity of grout material through the material experiments are differed with that through the parallel plate injection experiments.

This study aims to establish grouting techniques and evaluation of the effects of grouting in the geological environment of crystalline rock. A hydrogeological model has been generated using discrete fracture networks based on the data obtained by the short-borehole investigation campaign performed at at Grimsel test site in Switzerland to support the design of planned in-situ grouting test. The equivalent porous media with the consideration of hydraulic heterogeneity has been created from the DFN (Discrete Fracture Network) in order to be provided for the simulation of the grout injection process. Uncertainties and remaining issues associated with the assumption in interpreting the data and its modeling were addressed in a systematic way.
