A TRIBI.TTETO MAURICE A. BIOT

MauriccA. Biot (190!19t5)

In presentingMauricc Anthony Biot with the TimoshenkoMedal in 1962,R. D. Mindlin, "Fundamentally, the eminentProfessor at ColumbiaUniversity, wrote: Tony Biot has a strongconsciousness of the physical world aroundhim. He hasa kecninsight which enables him to recognizethe cssentialfeatures of a physical phenomenonand build them into a mathematicalmodel without blindly including non-essentials. Then he has, at hisfingertips, a vastarray of the toolsof mathematicalanalysis and analyticalmethods of approximation whichhe uses skillfully to extract,from themodel, predictions of thehitherto unpredictable. They are all too few suchmen thesedays." These words by Mindlin accuratelyportrayed M. A. Biot as an intuitive engineer,who could masterthe advancedtools of a physical scientist,and asa scientistwho did not losesight of the physicalworld. MauriccBiot wasborn in Antwerp,Belgium on May 25th 1905.The war in l9ltl-I918 and the siegeof Antwerp causedthe Biot family to travel first to london, then Paris,and finally settlingin Chamb€ry,France. Thesc moves matured the young Biot and exposed him to scverallanguages. I:ter returningto Antwerp,M. Biot concludedhis sccondary school. In 1923he enrolled at a schoolin Brusselsfor preparatoryoourses in mathematics,and in 1924was admitted at the Universit6catholique de Louvain.It wasat this time that Biot showedhis insatiable appetitiefor knowledge.While pursuinghis studiesin ,Biot also attended ooursesin Philosophy(he was awardeda Bachelordegree in Philosophyin 1927)and Economics.He obtaincda Mining Engineeringdegrce in 1929,and an ElectricalEngineering degreein 1930. "Theoretical After defendinghis thesiscntitled studieson induced electricalcurrents", Biot was awardeda Doctor of Scienccdegree in 1931.The sponsorshipof the Belgian AmericanEducational Foundation allowed Biot to spcndthe next two yearsin the U.S. (1931-1933)at the California Institute of Technologyin Pasadena.It was at Cal Tech wherehe first met and workedwith Theodorevon Krirm6n,who had arrivedin the U.S.in 1929.Biot acquireda Ph.D. in AeronauticalSciences in 1932by defendinghis work "Conceptof responscspectrum based on the earthquakeacceleration." The methodology broughtgreat simplifications to the analysisof structuresunder transient loading and has sincebeen used as a tool in earthquake-proofdesign. It wasduring the sameperiod that he publishedhis first paperson a newapproach to thenonlinear theory ofelasticity accounting for the effectof initial stress.By that time he had publishedabout a dozenrientific papers and patentedhis first threeinventions.

.l5l5 45t6 A tributc to Mauricc A. Biot After a few monthsat the Universityof Michigan,Biot returnedto Europe.In 1933and 1934,the BelgianNational ScientificResearch Foundation grantedhim the opportunity to travelto Delft, Gdttingen,and Zurich. With suchsharp intelligence he wassoon recognized by the university community. [n 1934,Biot started his academiccareer as a teacherof appliedmathematics at Harvard University.In June 1935,he rcturnedto Pasadenaas an AdvancedFellow of the BclgianAmerican Educational Foundation. By 1936,Biot was electedto the faculty at his Alma Mater, the Universit€catholique de Louvain, where he taught Elasticityand AnalyticalMechanics. From 1937to 1946,Biot wasa Professorof TheoreticalMechanics and PhysicalMathematics at Columbia Univenity. In 1946Brown University offeredhim the position of Professorin Applied Physicsand Scienoes,which he helduntil 1952. It was in l9zt0that the monograph MathematicalMethods in Engineeringwas written with Th. von Kdrmdn. Its translation into nine languagesis evidenceof its influenceon scveralgenerations of engineers.Later in his careerhe wrote two more books: Mechanics of IncrementalDeformations (1955) and VariationalPrinciples in Heat Transfer(1970). The U.S. fascinatedBiot, who found in it an environmentconducive for research.Biot becamean Americancitizen in 1941.The war in Europecame to Biot as a major distress and he took an activerole in it. On lcavefrom ColumbiaUniversity, he workedat the Cal Tech AeronauticalLaboratory on problemsof vibration and flutter, on the dynamic stability of projectilesand also on anti-submarineshell impact. During the war, as a LieutenantCommander in the U.S.Navy, Biot headedthe StructuralDynamics Scction of the Bureauof Aeronauticsin Washington,D.C. (1943-1945),and laterconducted technical missionsin Europewith combattroops. By 1951,Biot had produceda largenumber of scientificworks for ShellDevelopment Co.,Cornell Aeronautical Laboratory, and for the U.S.fur Force.After 1952Biot worked largelyalone as a consultantfor variousgovernmental agencies and industriallaboratories. From 1969to 1982,Biot was a consultantfor Mobil Researchand DevelopmentCor- porationin Dallas,in the areaof Rock Mechanics. Relocatedin Brusselssince 1970, Maurice Biot continuedhis researchuntil his lastday. It wason one of his lasttrips to the U.S.that Biot felt the earlysigns of his illnessthat wouldsuddenly depnve him of hislife on the l2th of Septembcr1985, at theage of eighty. The work and originalcontribution which distinguished Biot's career cover an unusually broad rangeof scienceand technologyincluding applied mechanics, sound, heat, ther- modynamics,aeronautics, , and electromagnetism.The level of his work has rangedfrom the highlytheoretical and mathematical to practicalapplications and patented inventions. Aeronauticalproblems and fluid mechanicswere the objectsof mostof hisefforts during the 1940s.He developedthe thrcedimensionalaerodynamics theory of oscillatingairfoils along with new methodsof vibration analysisbased on matrix theory and generalized coordinates.This led to widelyapplied design proccdures of complexaircraft structures in orderto preventcatastrophic flutter. He alsopatented an electrical analogue flutter predictor basedon a simplecircuit designwhich simulatesaerodynamic forces. After the war he continuedwork on non-stationaryaerodynamic instability of thin supersonicwings, and on the first evaluationofthe transonicdrag ofan acceleratedbody. In the 1950s,Biot's work was concernedprimarily with problemsin mechanics, porousmedia, thermodynamics, and heat transfer.He developeda new approachto the thermodynamicsof irreversibleproccsses by introducing a generalizedform of the free energyas a key potential.The formulationwas associated with new variationalprinciples and Lagrangian-typeequations. The resultswith the introductionof internalcoordinates providedthe thermodynamicsfoundation of a generaltheory of anisotropicviscoelasticity and thermoelasticity.He latergave a systematicpresentation of this work in a monograph VariationalPrinciples in Heat Transferin 1970and indicatedits applicabilityto many other problemssuch as those of elasticaquifers or neutrondiffusion in nuclearreactor design. Biot'sinterest in the mechanicsof porousmedia dated back to 1940with a fundamental paperin mechanicsand consolidation.He returnedto the subjectin the 1950sin the more generalcontext of rock mechanicsin connectionwith problemsin the oil industry. A uibua rc Mruricc A. Biot 45t7 OD thc basisof his earlier work ia thcrmodynamics,he extcndedhis thcory to the in porousmedia and showcdthat thcre cxistcdthrcc typcsof acousticwavcs in suchmedia. In anothcr contribution hc was the first personto corrcctly provide the solution of the so- callcd Stoncleywave, i.c. an interfacewavc betweena fluid ovcrlayingan elasticsolid half- rpacewhich, as somehave argued, should more appropriatclybc namedafter him. For a short period in thc middle 1950sBiot bccameinvolved with rocket radio-guidancc problems and the question of disturbancefrom ground rtflections. He showedthat the rcflectionof elcctromagreticand acousticwaves from a rough surfacemay bc rcplacedby a smooth boundary condition. He also introduced a new approach to pulsc generated transientwaves based on a continuousspoctrum of normal coordinates.The combination of thc two methodsprovidcd the only practical solution at that time of rcme important problems. In a scriesof papersstarting in 1957,Biot extendedhis carlier work in the mechanicsof initially stresscdsolids, developing a mathematicaltheory of folding instability of stratified viscousand viscoclasticsolids. He verified the rcsultsin the laboratory and applied them to cxplain the dominant fcaturesof geologicalstructures. In particular, he brought to light the phenomenonof internal buckling of a confinedanisotropic or stratifiedmedium under compressivestress and provided a quantitative analysis.He applied the theory with the samesuooess to problemsof gravity instability and salt dome formation. ln a later period he presenteda systematictreatment of the mechanicsof initially stressedcontinua in the monogtaphMechanics of IncrementalDeformations, published in 1965.In the 1970sBiot's formulationof the variationalprinciple of virtual dissipationin the thermodynamicsof irreversibleprocesses along with a new approach to open systemsled to a synthesisof classicalmechanics and irreversiblethermodynamics. He applied thesenew theoriesto directlyobtain the field equationsin systemswhere deformations are coupledto thermo- moleculardiffusion and chemicalreactions. On this basishe also further developedthe theoryof porousmedia including heat and mass transport with phasechanges and adsorp- tion effects. The honorsthat Biot reccivedduring his lifetimcincluded the TimoshcnkoMedal of the American Societyof MechanicalEngineers (1962), the Th. von KArmdn Medal of the AmericanSociety of Civil Engineers(1967), and an Honorary Fellow of the Acoustical Societyof America (1983).He was also a memberof the U.S. National Academyof Engineering.

4:3 Dual-porosity poroelasticity

Flow-Deformation Response of Dual-Porosity Media

By Derek Elsworth,1 Member, ASCE, and Mao Bai2

ABSTRACT: A constitutive model is presented to define the linear poroelastic response of fissured media to determine the influence of dual porosity effects. A stress-strain relationship and two equations representing conservation of mass in the porous and fractured material are required. The behavior is defined in terms of the hydraulic and mechanical parameters for the intact porous matrix and the surrounding fracture system, allowing generated fluid pressure magnitudes and equilibration rates to be determined. Under undrained hydrostatic loading, the pore pressure-generation coefficients B, may exceed unity in either of the porous media or the fracture, representing a form of piston effect. Pressures generated within the fracture system equilibrate with time by reverse flow into the porous blocks. The equilibration time appears negligible for permeable sandstones, but it is significant for low-permeability geologic media. The constitutive model is rep- resented in finite element format to allow solution for general boundary conditions where the influence of dual-porosity behavior may be examined in a global context.

INTRODUCTION

The linear flow-deformation behavior of geologic media is governed by the theory of single-porosity poroelasticity, as expounded originally by Biot (1941). Where, as in the case of fissured rock and soils, the medium com- prises discrete fractions of differing solid compressibilities and permeabili- ties, a dual-porosity approach appears more appropriate. The dual-porosity approach has been extensively developed to represent single-phase and multiphase flow in petroleum reservoirs. The original char- acterization of naturally fractured reservoirs by Warren and Root (1963) has been developed for radial flow in both blocky (Odeh 1965) and tabular reservoirs (Kazemi 1969) using analytical approaches and extended to mul- tiphase flow using numerical techniques (Yamamoto et al. 1971; Kazemi et al. 1976; Kazemi and Merrill 1979; Thomas et al. 1983). Interest in single- phase behavior within dual-porosity reservoirs has been concerned with accurate representation of the flux fields within the porous and fractured components (Huyakorn et al. 1983) for application to mass (Bibby 1981) and thermal transport (Pruess and Narasimhan 1985; Elsworth 1989). In all of these applications it is assumed that total stresses remain constant with time, and therefore poroelastic effects are not incorporated. The theory presented by Aifantis (1977, 1980) and Khaled et al. (1984) provides a suitable framework in which the flow-deformation behavior of dual-porosity media may be fully coupled to the deformation field as a multiphase continuum. Multiphase poroelasticity requires that the condi- tions of flow continuity within the different solid phases and the exchange between the phases are superimposed on the elastic displacement behavior of the fissured mass as body forces. As initially defined (Aifantis 1977), the constitutive coefficients describing the behavior of the aggregated medium

J. Geotech. Engrg., 1992, 118(1): 107-124 defy direct physical interpretation. Although phenomenological coefficients describing both load-deformation and fluid-percolation response may be determined directly from laboratory and field testing of the fractured systems (Wilson and Aifantis 1982), these coefficients may be recovered more con- veniently from basic knowledge of modulii and permeability of the com- ponents comprising matrix and fissure . Defining the response of the system directly in terms of the elastic and permeability properties of the components, with due regard for fissure ge- ometry, offers the further advantage of ensuring that material nonlinearities of unknown magnitude are not inadvertently included within data reduced from field testing. This is an important factor, given long-standing knowl- edge on the nonlinear load-deformation behavior of interfaces (Goodman 1974) and the strong aperture dependence of fluid transmission in fissures (Iwai 1976). Indeed, the conditions needed to satisfy requirements for a linear theory of dual poroelasticity for fissured media may be so restrictive that, in all practicality, the phenomenon must be viewed as intrinsically nonlinear. This argument aside, only linear phenomena are considered in the following. Where the structure of the fissured mass is well defined, as in the case of regularly jointed rocks and fissured soils, the contribution of fissure and matrix components to the overall flow and deformation response of the medium are readily apparent. Indeed, where elastic and flow properties of the fissures and matrix are known a priori, it is reasonable to develop the governing equations directly from this constituent basis. This exercise is completed in the following to develop the macroscopic continuum equations of linear poroelasticity on the basics of known fluid compressibility and defined fissure stiffness, porosities, and permeabilities.

CONSTITUTIVE EQUATIONS The behavior of the dual porosity aggregate may be defined in terms of component equations representing the solid deformation and coupled fluid- pressure response.

Fluid Pressure Response Conservation of fluid mass must be maintained for each of the two porosity types, with appropriate transfer being possible between the two. The basic statement of continuity of flow requires that the divergence of the flow- velocity vector be equal to the rate of fluid accumulation per unit volume of space, i.e., Vrv = rate of accumulation. Equating the continuity con- straint for the porous phase with changes in fluid mass due to all possible mechanisms gives the rate of fluid accumulation as the summation of: (1) Change in total body strain resulting in fluid expulsion; (2) change in fluid pressure precipitating changes in volumetric pore fluid content as a result of fluid and grain compressibility; and (3) volumetric transfer between the porous blocks and the fractures under differential pressures. These three source terms represent the right-hand side of the continuity relationship as r V vx = m^! - c^ + K(Pl - p2) (9) r where V = (d/dxl, . . . , d/dx,) in the case of ;' dimensional geometry; Eulerian flow velocity vf = [vvl, . . . , vvi] and ax = [nJKf + (1 - n^/K,], where nx = the porosity of phase 1; Kf = the fluid bulk modulus; and ks = the solid grain bulk modulus. Transfer between the porous block and the surrounding fractures may be quantified by the assumption of a quasi- steady response governed by the coefficient K and the instantaneous pres- sure differential (/?! — p2) (Warren and Root 1963). T In (9), the volume strain within the porous medium, m e1, refers to the drained condition where excess pore pressures are zero throughout the load- ing process. The proportion of the volume strain manifest within the porous T phase may be determined from the total volume strain, m e1, by substituting (7) into (1) and the result into (4). This gives following division by dt, which T T r m e1 = mCJ)12(e + C^mpt + C2mp2) - mC1m/J1 (10)

which may be reduced to the drained response by requiring that p1 = p2 = 0. [The requirement of using drained solid body strain may be confirmed by noting the form of (40) where pressure changes are set to px = p2 = 0 leaving the only mechanism for fluid expulsion into the separate phases through displacement rates, ii.] The truncated (drained) form of (10) may then be substituted into the continuity relationship of (9) to yield T V vt = m^CJ^e - axA - K{Pl - p2) (11) to give the final form of the continuity relationship for phase 1. Again, it is noted that the influence of grain compressibility as a result of changes in intergranular stresses has been neglected. This effect may, however, be incorporated by substituting the vector mt for m in (11), where m1 accom- modates the intergranular stress relationship of (1). This effect is small for the stress levels of interests within geotechnical engineering and may be neglected. Repeating the same process for the fractured material gives a second Downloaded from ascelibrary.org by Pennsylvania State University on 03/25/16. Copyright ASCE.

where the fracture compressibility term is defined as a2 = n2/Kf, with n2 110

J. Geotech. Engrg., 1992, 118(1): 107-124 representing the fracture porosity. Again the influence of grain compress- ibility on the intergranular stress relationship is neglected, but it may be readily included by substituting m2 for m.

DUAL-POROSITY LOAD RESPONSE For the case of general loading, the dual-porosity response may be fully described by (8), (11), and (12) to determine the magnitude of instanta- neously generated displacements and fluid pressures and their modification with time. Although these relationships are entirely general, it is instructive to consider the behavior under purely hydrostatic loading and examine the response in normalized format. This will allow us to determine the important differences between true dual-porosity systems and their representation by an equivalent single-porosity system.

Hydrostatic Behavior Where a hydrostatic load is applied to the dual-porosity medium, the three-dimensional form of (7) that contains a total of six subordinate equa- tions may be reduced to a single component. For a ubiquitously jointed medium containing orthogonal fractures of uniform spacing, s, the strain components may be reduced on noting that mTe = 3e (13) and the compliance matrices are represented as

C-<^ <14„) c> = h <146> where k„ = the joint normal stiffness and the stiffness matrix reduces to 1 D12 = (Q + cy- (15) Rearranging (8), (11), and (12) for an applied hydrostatic stress magnitude cr yields

6- = D12s + DuQp! + D12C2p2 (16)

K(Pi ~ p2) = lDl2Cxi - axpx (17)

-K(Pl - p2) = 3D12C2e - a2p2 (18) T T where a zero external flux condition (V \1 = V y2 = 0) has been applied as a further boundary condition. The behavior is most conveniently decom- posed into: the undrained loading stage when fluid pressures pl0 and p2a are generated; and the dissipation of pressures through fluid exchange in the subsequent drained behavior. The undrained pore pressures provide initial conditions to the initial value problem posed in (16)—(18). The magnitudes of undrained pore pressures may be evaluated, as discussed subsequently. Following undrained loading, dissipation begins under constant total stresses

Interest is restricted to the continuum level, where stress gradients are defined to be zero. Spatial changes in total stress that may occur within the volume, even under unchanged boundary stresses [see Mandel (1953)], are still admissible, but they require the additional

These considerations are in addition to the constitutive equations and our interest, for the moment, is merely in the constitutive relations. With some rear- rangement, the governing equations [(16)-(18)] may be represented as

s = - C1p1 - C2p2 (19)

P^= -^(Pi-^ (20)

p2 = — (Pi - P2) (21) 7l2 where ^=^(t+i) <22«> *""5^fe + 1) -<22t) 7i2 = (an a 2 2 - QC2) (22c) a"=l3lfe+Cl) ^ °= = Ufe + C') ^ Eqs. (20) and (21) are independent of the strain field and may be solved in time where boundary conditions are supplied directly. Solution to (20) and (21) may be determined as

^ = ^ = 5l (25)

J. Geotech. Engrg., 1992, 118(1): 107-124 ^ = ^ = B2 (26)

where these also are equivalent to Skempton's pore pressure coefficients, #! and B2, written separately for the fluid in the pores and fractures. With some rearrangement, the pore pressure parameters may be defined as

B1 = -^ (27) i _|—i_^ a2 C\ + 3C' 11 S + Q and ^ = -Si (28) 3C, -I The pore pressure parameters are no longer bounded between zero and unity, as is the magnitude of the instantaneous normalized strain, which represents the aggregated influence of effective stresses in the two phases. A large magnitude of $x suggests that the material will exhibit a small instantaneous strain, although the fluid pressures generated are further con- trolled by the magnitude of the porous or fracture compliances and the compressibility of the fluid as embodied in a± and a2. r The long-term response of the system where V ^ = Vv2 = 0 results in an equilibrium pore pressure distribution with px = p2 and a steady mag- nitude of normalized strain. These long-term equilibrium parameters [pi(°°), co p2( ) and e(°°)] are most easily recovered from solving the equivalent single- porosity problem, as follows.

EQUIVALENT SINGLE-POROSITY RESPONSE The equations developed to describe the dual-porosity response may be modified to represent the case where it is assumed that pressures within both the porous and fractured material remain in equilibrium (i.e., p± = p2)- This is the assumption made when real porous-fractured systems are represented by a simple equivalent phase system. Requiring px = p2 for all times, including initial pressure pl0 and p2o, then (16) reduces to

6- = D12e + p (29)

and adding (17) and (18) under a similar requirement that px = p2, gives

3E = («! + a2)p (30) Downloaded from ascelibrary.org by Pennsylvania State University on 03/25/16. Copyright ASCE. For personal use only; all rights reserved. where these represent the basic constitutive equations under hydrostatic loading. Implicit within (17) and (18), and by inference therefore in (30), is the requirement that Vrv = 0. Since no drainage is allowed, e is zero 113

J. Geotech. Engrg., 1992, 118(1): 107-124 following loading with the result that fluid pressures are maintained at their initially induced magnitude. This differs from the true dual-porosity case where there is an interchange of fluid between the pores and fractures. In the usual manner, (29) and (30) may be premultiplied by dt and the limit taken as dt —> 0 to recover the instantaneous normalized strain and pore pressure magnitudes as

^ 2 = A + _ 3- V' = - '.(3D a V ^12(01 + a2 )/ fe and

Po _ 3 1 = 5 (32)

where again B is bounded by zero and unity and incorporates the compliance of the porous solid, the fracture, and the fluid together with the appropriate distribution of porosities within each of the phases.

PARAMETRIC RESPONSE

Under undrained loading, the instantaneous generation of pore pressures is controlled by Bx and B2 in the true dual-porosity system, and by 50 in the pseudo dual-porosity system. For dual porosity, the mismatch in medium stiffness and porosity between the porous body and the fracture result in differential pressure generation that will diffuse with time to an equilibrium configuration. Where external drainage is controlled, the equilibrium pres- sure is given by plu = B0 where this magnitude is intermediate to the instantaneous pore and fracture pressures. Of significance are the magnitudes of instantaneous pore pressures in the pore and fracture as controlled by B1 and B2 of (25) and (26). Unlike B [(32)] for the pseudo dual-porosity system, the magnitude of Bl and B2 are not confined between zero and unity. Rather, one may be greater than unity and the complementary parameter less than unity. This behavior is repre- sentative of a piston effect, whereby pressures are amplified in the low stiffness porosity. According to (25) and (26), 5, is largest for large a,/oty- and small CJCj for r = 1,2;/ = 1,2 and i + /, and also is controlled by the ratio a,/Q. Physically, pore pressure magnitudes are increased as po- rosity increases or as solid stiffness decreases. The influence is illustrated for a variety of sedimentary and crystalline rocks in Table 1. Porosities and stiffnesses have been added to augment available data for poroelastic be- havior of single-porosity . Regardless of fracture spacing, all materials return B2 magnitudes close to or greater than unity for the fracture pressures and B1 magnitudes of negligible proportion. Pore pressure parameter magnitudes for the aggre- gated system given by B in the table remain close to unity. As the fracture spacing is increased (from 0.1 m to 0.5 m), the aggregated B decreases uniformly due to the net increase in stiffness of the system. However, no Downloaded from ascelibrary.org by Pennsylvania State University on 03/25/16. Copyright ASCE.

The instantaneous pore pressure regime in the closed system (VT • v = 0) is modified with time by diffusive exchange between the porous body and the fracture. For realistic parameter estimates, given in Table 1, dif- 114

The rate of this process may be considered as an indication of the relative im- portance of the dual-porosity effect. The equilibration rate is controlled by a dimensionless time given in (23A) and (23b) as tD = (yu + -y22)f/7i2, whereby the time to 50% and 95% equilibration of pressures are given by t5S = 0.6931 and P£ = 2.9957.

The behavior of representative sandstones in Table 1 are characterized by very rapid response times, reaching t9S in less than a second. The low- permeability matrix of the crystalline rock impedes equilibration that, de- pendent on permeability and fracture spacing, may extend over thousands of seconds. Characteristic responses are illustrated in Fig. 2 to illustrate the form of the response. With drainage potential proportional to fracture spac- ing s2, flatter responses in time are elicited where the path length is increased. Although parametric analyses previously were limited to sandstones and crystalline rock, the major trends in behavior are apparent. Firstly, fluid pressures developed in compliant fractures may considerably exceed those developed in the porous body. These differential pressures will only be significant, however, if matrix permeabilities are sufficiently low that the pressure differential may be sustained in time. From the time scales apparent for permeable (sandstones) and impermeable (crystalline) materials, it ap- pears that dual-porosity effects may be of little consequence in permeable media, but drainage time scales are sufficient in low-permeability rocks to cause noticeable effect. Where permeability controls behavior, clays and low-permeability silts may be subject to dual-porosity effects.

J. Geotech. Engrg., 1992, 118(1): 107-124 GLOBAL BEHAVIOR It is possible to solve a broader range of problems only if the previously developed constitutive behaviors are globally framed to represent spatial interaction. This requires that the constitutive, load-deformation relation- ship of (7) is substituted into an equilibrium statement and that the flow continuity (11) and (12) have an appropriate constitutive equation applied. The constitutive relationship, in this instance, is supplied by Darcy's law (Bear 1972). For the general representation of heterogeneous, mixed-initial value problems, the finite element method is chosen. The equilibrium statement in its most general form is given as

BTda dV - df = 0 (34) ( where B = the strain-displacement matrix; df = an incremental vector of applied boundary tractions, and the integration is completed over the vol- ume of the domain (dV). Defining all quantities in terms of nodal variables de = BSu (35a)

dp1 = N3pi (355)

dp2 = Ndp2 (35c) where du = a vector of incremental nodal displacements; dp = a vector of nodal pressures; and N = a vector of shape functions interpolating fluid pressures. Substituting (7) and (35) into (34), dividing by dt, and rearranging gives the incremental equation in finite element format as

r J BD12B dV u + J B^D^dmN dV p,

r + J BD12C2mN dV p2 = / (36)

where a superscript dot identifies time derivative. Darcy's law must be added to the continuity requirements already imposed in (11) and (12) and may be simply stated as

vi = — V(px + 7Z) (37)

where 7 = the unit weight of the fluid; a. = the dynamic ; kt = the porous medium permeability with the fracture permeability set to zero; and Z = the elevation of the control volume. Substituting (37) into (11) and applying the Galerkin principle results in

The fluid pressure response with depth is illustrated in Fig. 3 for a fracture spacing, s, of 0.1 m. Fluid pressures generated within the fractures are considerably greater than the matrix pore pressures. With time, the fracture pressures dissipate into the porous blocks until an equilibrium is reached. In this example, following the establishment of an equilibrium pressure distribution, the consolidation process will continue by drainage from the top of the layer. The surface settlement associated with the expulsion of fluid from the dual-porosity system is illustrated in Fig. 4. Fracture spacings of 0.025, 0.05, and 0.1 m are used to demonstrate the differing responses. Where spacing is decreased, the dissipation process is accelerated. The dual- porosity response is contrasted with the behavior of a single-porosity system, where the different form of settlement-versus-time behavior is apparent. A two-dimensional geometry, represented in Fig. 5, also may be used to illustrate the essential differences between single-porosity and dual-porosity effects. The response to a load of finite extent is illustrated in Fig. 6. As fracture spacing is decreased, the magnitude of initial normalized displace- ment increases, reflecting the dominant influence of fracture stiffnesses on the deformation behavior.

The former characteristic results from the rapid equilibrating of fluid pressures within the fractures where dissipation in-

120

J. Geotech. Engrg., 1992, 118(1): 107-124 creases the magnitude of effective stresses. The high compressibility of the fractures correspondingly yields a magnified response. At later times, the dual porosity exhibits a more sluggish response over the equivalent single- porosity behavior as a result of delayed changes in effective stresses within the porous blocks. This behavior is slightly magnified in time as block dimension is increased, resulting in a longer dissipation tail, as evident in Fig. 6.

CONCLUSIONS A constitutive model for the coupled flow-deformation response of dual- porosity media has been presented. The formulation is stated in component terms, where behavior is controlled by the mechanical and hydraulic re- sponse of the individual porous and fractured phases. Representation in this form allows the potential importance of dual-porosity effects to be evaluated in controlling the coupled flow-deformation behavior of fractured geologic media. Pore pressure coefficients B1 and B2 may be defined for the dual-porosity response, where the magnitudes are not necessarily confined to the range between zero and unity. For realistic material parameters, the magnitude of the pore pressure coefficient for the fractures is commonly greater than unity, and for the porous medium, less than unity. With the generation of this pressure differential, fluid transfer between the porous medium and the fracture will attempt to equilibrate the pressures. Equilibration times are controlled by the compliances of the porous medium and the fractures, together with porosities and the block-fracture fluid-transfer coefficient K. This latter component is a function of block size and block permeability. Where undrained loading is prescribed, the times to 50% and 95% equili- bration may be determined explicitly. Where general boundary conditions are applied to the dual-porosity sys- tem, a numerical solution method must be employed, Representation as a finite element system is particularly appropriate, allowing spatial variability in parameters and general boundary conditions to be readily accommodated.

J. Geotech. Engrg., 1992, 118(1): 107-124 The procedure may be applied to a variety of engineering situations where the accurate determination of parameters associated with dual-porosity sys- tems is important. These include the performance of fractured clay tills used as barriers to contaminated ground water and waste leachate and the be- havior of fractured rocks deforming above mined underground openings. In either instance, the behavior of the dual-porosity medium is distinctively different from that of a single-porosity continuum, and it is important to recognize this differentiation if serviceable designs are to be commissioned. For example, large initial deformations are apparent in the dual-porosity medium under undrained loading that result in considerably different tran- sient response to anything that can be explained using single-porosity rep- resentation. Thus, use of an incorrect phenomenological model in describing field data would erroneously predict the performance of the prototype. For this reason, it is imperative that a correct and adequate model is initially selected.
