description In underground engineering, the fracture dip angle and three-dimensional stress have great influence on the permeability and mechanical properties of fractured rock mass. Firstly, single-fracture samples with similar three-dimensional fractal dimensions and different dip angles were selected by using CT scanning technology. Then, the grouting material seepage tests under different dip angles and different three-dimensional stresses were carried out by self-developed single-fracture stress-seepage coupling true triaxial test system. The experimental data of stress-strain curve, grouting pressure, and grouting material flow rate of single-fracture specimen under different fracture dip angles and three-dimensional stress were obtained. The results show that the three-dimensional fractal dimension can be used as an index to measure the influence of fracture factors on grouting seepage test. The third principal stress σ3 had a greater influence on the fracture width than the first principal stress σ1. The larger the fracture inclination, the lower the strength of the single-fracture specimen. As the third principal stress σ3 increases, the grouting pressure increased while the grouting flow decreased. With the increase of the fracture inclination angle, the influence of σ1 on the hydraulic conductivity became larger, while the influence of σ3 on the hydraulic conductivity became smaller. Moreover, the expression of hydraulic conductivity of single-fracture specimen with different dip angles under three-dimensional stress was obtained by nonlinear fitting of hydraulic conductivity data.
