Abstract

Structural plane is an important influence factor for the rock mass quality, 3D modelling, borehole hydraulic test and engineering design of underground research laboratory. Xinchang rock mass in Beishan area of Gansu province has been confirmed the preferred site for URL on geological disposal of high-level radioactive waste in China. The characteristics of structural plane in Xinchang rock mass are obtained based on acoustic borehole televiewer and other geological information. The results indicate that the granite rock mass with a high integrity is beneficial for construction of URL. The width of faults around preferred site and incidence in horizontal and vertical decrease as the depth increases. Characteristics of dip and strike of structural plane is the same as other structure in this area. All research results provide meaning information for design of URL and further geological research.
