We know that stress redistribution and change in permeability are common phenomena within the Excavation disturbed Zone (EdZ) and Excavation Damaged Zone (EDZ), and these zones could be under various confining pressure and temperature conditions which might significantly affect the permeability of rock around an underground cavern. Therefore, confining pressure and temperature effects on permeability as Thermo Hydro Mechanical (THM) processes are very important issues considering the sealability of underground excavations. |
