Description
Summary:碩士 === 國立中央大學 === 土木工程學系 === 105 === This study presents the representative elementary volume (REV) of P32 (fracture intensity) and hydraulic conductivity of fractured rock mass. Discrete fracture network (DFN) generated by FracMan is adopted to create rock mass models. A series of parametric studies including dip angle, dip direction, Fisher constant κ, size of rock mass model, shape of rock mass model, specimen volume, fracture diameter, and P32 were investigated to study the REV of P32. Based on the results of the parametric studies, a novel equation to quantify the COV (Coefficient of variance) of P32 in terms of specimen volume, fracture diameter and P32 was established. A precise REV size can be obtained easily by assigning the acceptable COV. Thereafter, some case studies were used to verify the proposed novel equation. Conventional Oda and Oda gold were adopted to estimate the hydraulic conductivity of the fractured rock mass. By using Oda conventional, a series of parametric studies including specimen volume, fracture diameter, P32, transmissivity, and aperture were investigated to study the REV of hydraulic conductivity. Subsequently, that REV of hydraulic conductivity was compared with the REV of P32. In the other hand, by using Oda gold, only P32 was chosen as parametric study. Eventually, a proposed new method was conducted by examining the Monte Carlo simulation for REV of hydraulic conductivity determination.
