Abstract
Based on joint statistics from the in-situ survey, using numerical simulation technique of joint network (Monte-Carlo method), the calculation model of fractured rock mass is generated. Underground seepage discharge filed in fractured rock mass surrounding storage caverns is analyzed by using distinct element method. The result of simulation has shown good agreement with surveying data. Two cases have been simulated that is water curtains is installed and is not installed. Water pressure distributions in joints are investigated in these two cases. It is shown that in the case without water curtain the groundwater in joints which locate the upper of underground caverns is drained out and water sealed conditions is completely unrealized. When water curtain pressure is set at 0.3MPa, can underground water seal the storage caverns.
