tances.
As for the simulation results with 95% confidence, the
grouted stages whose diffusion distance away from the
drilling center was the smallest and also satisfied the design
standard were Stage 8 (40.5–45.5 m) and Stage 9. The hole
distance in these two stages was 2.2 m, more than the design
value, 2 m. Therefore, if the simulation value with that
confidence was adopted, the hole spacing could be optimized
to2.2m,anincreaseof0.2moverthedesignvalue,directly
savingupto10%oftheprojectamount.
As for the simulation results with 80% confidence, the
grouted stages whose diffusion distance away from the
drilling center was the smallest and also satisfied the design
standard were Stage 6 (30.5–35.5 m), Stage 8, and Stage 9. The
hole spacing in these three stages was 2.4 m. It should not be
applied directly due to its 80% confidence.

5. Conclusion
Basedonthemutualcouplingofthediffusionprocessof
cement grouting in the fissures and the deformation of
rock mass under grouting pressure, the diffusion and filling
process for cement grouting in V-diabase grouting test in the
Dagang Mountain Hydropower Station was simulated using
the finite element method, considering the time variability
of rheological parameters of cement grout, the changes in
thefissureopening,andtheprecipitationlawofthecement
particles. Distribution of the permeability rate in grouted
rock mass was analyzed, and the reliability and optimization
