National audienceThis study is a part of a wide multi scale research based on in situ experimentations and laboratory tests. The latest, radial water injections in the centre of the lower joint wall are done at constant normal stress from 0 to 110 MPa and at pressures from 0 to 4 MPa. Four hydro mechanical tests have been performed at the L3S laboratory on fractured limestone samples (two diaclase and two bedding plane). The measurement analysis shows a relation between the contact surface variations and the flow values inside the fracture. The hydro mechanical modelling performed using 3DEC code can be improved from the previous analysis through the modification of the relation between the joint hydraulic opening and the joint mechanical c...
