Transcribed Image Text:Problem IV
An orthogonal system of fractures/discontinuities is measured along a horizontal profile that is
20 m long and a vertical profile that is 5 m high. There are 40 vertical fractures meeting the
horizontal profile of which seven have an aperture of 0.1 mm, six an aperture of 0.2 mm, four an
aperture of 0.3 mm, eight an aperture of 0.4 mm, five an aperture of 0.5 mm, three an aperture of
0.7 mm, three an aperture of 0.8 mm, two an aperture of 0.9 mm, and two an aperture of 1.0 mm.
There are ten fractures meeting the vertical profile of which four have an aperture of 0.1 mm, three
an aperture of 0.2 mm, two an aperture of 0.4 mm, and one an aperture of 0.5 mm. The water
density pf is 1000 kg.m², and its dynamic viscosity uf is 1.55 x 10-3 Pa.s. Calculate the hydraulic
conductivity of the rock hosting the fracture sets.
