Abstract
In this report, the rock mechanics parameters of fractures and brittle deformation zones in the vicinity of the ONKALO area have been estimated, the analysed data being from the ONKALO tunnel over the chainage range 0-2400 m. Some analysis has also been made based on core logging data from the drillholes OL-KR1-OL-KR40. At this stage, the main objective of the work is to obtain preliminary parameters for the rock mechanics simulations and the rock mechanics design. In this report, the rock mechanics parameters of the fractures are mainly associated with the rock engineering classification quality index, Q, which incorporates the RQD, Jn, Jr and Ja values. The friction angle of the fracture surfaces is estimated from the Jr and Ja numbers. The fracture wall compressive strength (JCS) has been systematically estimated for the chainage range 1280-2400 m using Schmidt hammer tests. So far, only a few laboratory direct shear tests have been conducted on fracture samples. Estimation of the mechanics properties of the brittle deformation zones (BDZ) is based on the mapped Q value, which is transformed to the GSI value in order to estimate strength and deformability properties. A component of the mapped Q values is from the ONKALO
