The coupling between subsurface flow and geomechanical deformation is critical in the
assessment of the environmental impacts of groundwater use, underground liquid waste …

Indeed, determination of groundwater inflow into tunnels, especially in discontinuous rock
masses, is still one of the most challenging issues faced by tunneling experts, which may …

Fault fracture zone is a common engineering geological condition in mountain tunnel
excavation, which often brings great difficulties to engineering construction. Thus, uniaxial …

During the excavation of rock mass with the method of drill and blast, the release of in-situ
stress, also known as excavation load on boundary, is traditionally assumed as a quasi …

Hydraulic conductivity exhibits a high spatial variability due to the heterogeneity and
discontinuity of the geologic environments and their constituent materials. Representing …

Flow and transport through fractured geologic media often leads to anomalous (non‐
Fickian) transport behavior, the origin of which remains a matter of debate: whether it arises …

The need to assess quantitatively the safety of waste repositories in deep geological media
has fostered the development of efficient numerical models of groundwater flow and …

A novel approach for map** induced fractures and associated lineaments has been
introduced based on microseismic data, and thus their contribution towards identification …

We investigate the effects of geological stress on fluid flow and tracer transport in natural
fracture networks. We show the emergence of non‐Fickian (anomalous) transport from the …

The impact of a railway tunnel on groundwater and surface waters in the Northern
Apennines (Italy) was demonstrated and characterised by multi-tracer tests and hydrological …
