Effective Elastic and Hydraulic Properties of Fractured Rock Masses with High Contrast of Permeability: Numerical Calculation by an Embedded Fracture Continuum Approach

<div>Vertical displacement following the vertical cut at the middle of medium intersected by an oriented fracture (<i>θ</i> = 45°). Comparison of the results conducted with the interface element model by Flac3D, conformed mesh model by deal.II, uniform mesh model by Flac3D, and nonuniform mesh model using the local refinement technique with hanging nodes by deal.II.</div>
