In this study, an experimental system for the erosion
experiments was devised and it is shown in Fig. 2. A
granite core with an artificial fracture and a compacted
bentonite block with their dimensions are also shown in
Fig. 3. The granite core used in this experiment was
formed by two halves of a cylinder with 28.5 cm in
length and 10.0 cm in diameter. The granite core also
has two halves of the cylindrical holes for an emplacement
of the compacted bentonite block.
