In-Situ Rock Stress - International Symposium on In Situ Rock Stress, Trondheim, Norway,19

Informationen zum Autor Ming Li, Charlie C Li, Halvor Kjorholt, Halgier Dahle Klappentext Understanding the stress state in the earth's crust is crucial for engineers working in rock! particularly with regard to underground construction. Experience shows that an adequately high horizontal in-situ stress has a positive effect in stabilizing large span rock caverns close to the ground surface. This title contains papers on this subject. Zusammenfassung Knowledge of in-situ rock stress has been applied widely in tunnelling, mining and in the petroleum industry. The papers in this volume reflect the latest development in this challenging field, covering measuring techniques, interpretation methods and application of the in-situ stress in the engineering practice. Inhaltsverzeichnis Preface; Keynote lectures: The latest developments for in-situ rock stress measuring techniques; Rock stress measurements as a practical rock engineering tool; Stress measurement by hydraulic fracturing and overcoring; Stress estimate by other means; Engineering applications of in-situ stress; Interpretation of in-situ rock stress; Database, world stress map and miscellaneous
