Abstract

Laboratory tests have been carried out to determine the effect of normal stresses to the hydraulic conductivity of a single rock fracture. Tests were carried out in triaxial cell and both artificial and natural fractures have been used. Normal stresses were 2-16 Mpa and the water flow rate was kept constant during test. Hydraulic conductivities of fractures were calculated using cubic law. These results were compared to different theoretical models and there were no significant deviation between measured values and theoretical results.
