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

<div>Young’s modulus of the fracture cell Eiso calculated from the two isotropic approximations as function of the fracture cell size h (in mm) and inclination angle (in degrees) of fracture: (a) Eiso versus h; (b) Eiso versus inclination angle of fracture.</div>
