The equivalent permeability tensor is essential to the application of the equivalent porous media model in the numerical seepage simulation for fractured rock masses. In this paper, a revised solution of the equivalent permeability tensor is proposed to represent the influence of the fracture connectivity in discontinuous fractures. A correction coefficient is involved to reflect the complex seepage flow type through the rock bridge. This correction coefficient is back analyzed from single-hole packer tests, based on the Artificial Neural Network (ANN) back analysis and the Finite Element Method (FEM) seepage simulation. The limitation of this back analysis algorithm is that the number of single-hole packer tests should be equal or greater than the number of fracture sets, and three is the maximum number of the fracture sets. The proposed solution and the back analysis algorithm are applied in the permeability measurement and the seepage simulation for the Xiaowan arch dam foundation.
