Lefranc and Lugeon correlations
Lefranc and Lugeon correlations
(OP)
Hi,
I am searching for a correlation between the permeability values obtained by Lefranc and Lugeon field tests. In other words, the permeability of a rock in Lugeon unit is calculated (upon completion of a Lugeon test) and the corresponding permeability in Lefranc method (i.e. say in cm/sec) is needed.
Thanks

Prior to posting in here, I had posted that in soil testing engrg.
Thanks for your comment

The only concern would be rock is very dependent on fissures so you have a lot of concern on directionality and if your test hit a crack.
Probably misunderstood, but I am curious.

I didn't know it existed until today.

To dgillette: Thanks for your care. I regret to say The forum in question seems to be no longer active.
To blueoak: You are right. Lugeon is expected to be performed in rock, whilst lefranc is expected to be performed in alluvium.
However, consider that the alluvial layer is grouted now (Lefranc being performed prior to grouting). The layer is now different from alluvium and mostly similar to rock (packer set up easily carried out after drilling). Hence, Lugeon is performed. Now, how to correlate these two results?

I guess Rock Slope Engineering, 3rd edition by Hoek&Bray may help you.
