AbstractAbstract
[en] This report presents the results from hydraulic tests and tracer test in a well-defined, fractured, but low conductive granite in the Stripa mine. The purpose has been to study the properties of the rock and the fractures regarding hydraulic conductivity (K) and tracer transport. The K-value of the rock has been determined by hydraulic single-hole tests. The heterogeneity of the rock has been studied by hydraulic cross-hole tests and the transport mechanisms and fracture properties by non-sorbing tracer test. The test configuration is cylindrical with injection in the centre hole and detection in 8 peripheral holes evenly distributed on the mantle area of a cylinder, radius 1.5 m. The results from the single-hole tests in 1 m sections show a K-value between 1 E-9 and 7 E-12 m/s. The cross-hole tests indicate that the rock cannot be treated as a homogeneous, anisotropic, porous medium in the scale of this investigation. However, the method is a valuable help in identifying flow paths. The tracer test indicates that 3% of the total number of fractures are conducting water and that channeling occurs within the fracture planes. From the tracer test and the hydraulic tests, hydraulic fracture conductivity, flow porocity and longitudinal dispersion have been determined for different flow paths within the same distance from the injection hole.
