The mechanical and hydraulic properties of rock masses are affected by discontinuities such as bedding, fractures, joints and faults (Faoro et al. 2009; Jiang et al. 2004; Snow 1969). Joints or faults govern the mechanical stability and serve as the major conduits for the fluid flow in a formation. These conduits may pose a threat to the safety of engineering projects or benefit the energy recovery (Jaeger et al. 2007; Rutqvist and Stephansson 2003). In a deep formation, rock masses are subjected to high pore pressure and elevated temperatures. A change in pore pressure or temperature gives rise to a change in the stress distribution in a formation or around faults within reservoirs. Furthermore, it may result in the failure of rock masses or faults. Large volumes of fluid injected into a deep formation enhance the risk of geological disasters such as induced earthquakes, and the surface uplift (Evans et al. 2012; Shukla et al. 2010; Zoback and Gorelick 2012). Therefore, understanding the mechanical and hydraulic properties of a joint or fracture is vital for many engineering projects such as oil and gas exploitation, CO2 geological storage, enhanced geothermal exploitation with CO2, deep mining, and disposal of nuclear waste. Shear-flow tests of a joint or fracture are an effective method for studying these issues. However, the sealing difficulties of direct-shear rigs in terms of pore fluid pressure during shearing limits the direct-shear test of a joint under high pore pressure (Giger et al. 2011) and the permeability measurement of a single joint or fracture during shearing. To study the mechanical and hydraulic properties of the joint, several shear-flow apparatuses have been developed (Barla et al. 2009; Esaki et al. 1999; Giger et al. 2011; Hans and Boulon 2003; Liu et al. 2017; Wang et al. 2009). These apparatuses can be divided into three types:(1) apparatuses with a sealed shear box (Esaki et al. 1999; Giger et al. 2011; Hans and Boulon 2003; Nishiyama et al. 2014; Wang et al. 2009);(2) apparatuses with a sealed chamber (Barla et al. 2009; Liu et al. 2017; Xu et al. 2011); and (3) a triaxial tester with a saw cut cylindrical core (Jaeger et al. 2007; Nemoto et al. 2008), as shown in Fig. 1. In practice, however, there are disadvantages in using these apparatuses to conduct the shear-flow test under high pore pressure at elevated temperatures or the permeability test of a joint/fracture during shearing. Generally, the apparatuses with a sealed shear box have two disadvantages:(a) the poor sealing at high pore pressures (Giger et al. 2011) and (b) restricting the failure mode of the jointed sample. The sealing of the shear box is not suitable for the shear-flow test under high pore pressure conditions. Because this method has a contradiction between the sealing capacity and the friction of the shear box. If the seal is done well, the friction of the shear box will reduce the accuracy of the test. The sample is only damaged along the joint surface, and the stress distribution in the wall rock is more complex. Because the jointed sample is usually fastened in the shear box or encapsulated in the shear box using casting material, these fixed modes change the stress state of the joint wall or enhance its strength, and the failure mode of the jointed sample is restricted. Although the apparatuses with a sealed chamber can create a high-pressure fluid environment, this apparatuses fails to observe the hydraulic characteristics. For a triaxial tester with a saw cut cylindrical core, the control of stress states are so complex that the normal stress depends on the confining pressure and axial stress
