Variation in hydraulic conductivity of fractured rocks at a dam foundation during operation

Characterizing the permeability variation in fractured rocks is important in various subsurface applications, but how the permeability evolves in the foundation rocks of high dams during operation remains poorly understood. This permeability change is commonly evidenced by a continuous decrease in t...
