In this work, the Embedded Fracture Continuum (EFC) approach will be used to model the stress-dependent permeability of the fractured rock masses. This novel approach allows incorporating explicitly the fracture networks in the porous rock mass by using the fracture cell concept which represents the grid mesh intersected by at least one fracture. More precisely, in the EFC approach, each fracture cell represents an equivalent porous medium that the concept of continuum model can be straightforwardly applied. The numerical simulations will take into account the closure/opening effect due to the non-linear behavior of fractures with respect to normal stress as well as the shear-dilation effect. A damage law of the intact rock that undergoes yield tensile strength is also considered to model the new flow connections between fractures. Through some numerical applications, we highlighted the influence of different parameters on the effective permeability of fractured rock masses.
