WEBINAR OVERVIEW:
Sensitivity of Fracture Transmissivity to Seismic Triggering in DFNs
Discover the latest research and modeling advancements in fractured rock behavior under seismic loading in this technical webinar presented by ITASCA.
In this session, we will showcase a cutting-edge study using 3DEC to simulate the hydromechanical (HM) response of fractured rock masses under seismic triggering, with direct relevance to deep geological repositories and underground infrastructure in seismically active regions.
Key Topics Covered:
- How seismic events can induce permanent water level changes in boreholes
- Insights into increased fracture transmissivity and equivalent rock mass permeability from small-magnitude seismic events
- Implications for the Forsmark repository site in Sweden, located ~500 m underground
