Water pressure test in rock (Lugeon packer test) 104 experimental

The water pressure test in rock, also called "Lugeon packer test"@en, is carried out in a borehole drilled into rock. The test is used to investigate the following:hydraulic properties of the rock mass, which are mainly governed by discontinuities, absorption capacity of the rock mass,tightness of the rock mass, effectiveness of grouting, geomechanical behaviour, e.g. hydrofracturing, hydrojacking.

fr L'essai de pression d'eau dasn les roches, aussi appelé essai Lugeon, est réalisé dans un forage dans le massif rocheux. Il est utilisé pour évaluer : les propriétés hydrauliques du massif rocheux, qui dépendent principalement des discontinuités, la capacité d'absorption du massif rocheux, l'étanchéité du massif rocheux, l'efficacité de l'injection de coulis, et le comportement géomécanique, par exemple fracturation et soulèvement hydrauliques.
