Abstract
Understanding the hydromechanical behavior of fractures is a fundamental research
issue because of the need to understand the effects of human engineering in fractured rock masses.
The research presented in this paper is based on the use of image processing to determine the
relationships between fracture geometry and hydromechanical behavior.
Résumé
La compréhension du comportement hydromécanique d'une fracture est un enjeu
important pour la prédiction des effets des aménagements humains dans des massifs rocheux
fracturés. L'analyse d'images est un outil puissant pour faire le lien entre la géométrie de la fracture
et les différentes modélisations de son comportement hydromécanique.
