Abstract

Panel members discussing this theme touched on the topics of measuring procedures, stress distributions and their relations with tectonics. In rock mechanics one is concerned with the stress in rock masses due to mining or tunneling, pressure from water in storage dams and forces originating from foundations. The actual stress at any point in the rock mass is the resultant of the stresses caused by such engineering activities and the stresses prevent in the rock mass before these activities started. The latter stresses are referred to as virgin stresses, while the former are known as induced stresses. As far as the virgin stress is concerned, it is convenient to distinguish between the gravitational stress (due to the weight of the super-incumbent rock mass) and the latent stress (due to other natural causes). The induced stress is limited to regions in the vicinity of mining excavations, tunnels, foundations or water storage dams. Its magnitude may attain values many times greater than the virgin stress and its knowledge is therefore of utmost importance in engineering design. (18 refs.)

Geologic and tectonic characteristics of rockbursts

Technical Report Adushkin, V; Charlamov, V; Kondratyev, S; ...

The modern mining enterprises have attained such scales of engineering activity that their direct influence to a rock massif and in series of cases to the region seismic regime doesn`t provoke any doubts. Excavation and removal of large volumes of rock mass, industrial explosions and other technological factors during long time can lead to the accumulation of man-made changes in rock massifs capable to cause catastrophic consequences. The stress state changes in considerable domains of massif create dangerous concentration of stresses at large geological heterogeneities - faults localized in the mining works zone. External influence can lead in that casemore »« less

Events and discussions - Theme 3. Properties of rocks and rock masses

Journal Article Habib, P - 1st Internat. Soc. Rock. Mech. Congr.; (United States)

Theme 3, ''Properties of Rocks and Rock Masses,'' brought 92 papers and thus appears to be the principal subject of interest to this congress. Such a large number of papers precludes an individual analysis. However, it allows evaluation of general ideas and tendencies. Three prelimary observations are presented. The first is the necessity to determine as soon as possible the classification of materials or of their behavior so as to obtain comparable properties. The second observation refers to the cost of rock mechanics tests, particular ''in-situ'' tests. The third observation is that, although the title of this theme indicates amore »« less

Stress measurements in rock salt using hydraulic fracturing

Conference Wawersik, W; Stone, C

Hydraulic fracturing was applied in horizontal drillholes in the Salado salt formation near Carlsbad, New Mexico. Testing took place approximately 650 m below surface in order to support the design of a Waste Isolation Pilot Plant (WIPP) for the disposal of radioactive waste from defense activities of the United States. Hydraulic fracturing was performed primarily to determine whether the virgin in situ stress state at the WIPP site is isotropic and whether the magnitudes of the the virgin in situ stresses correspond to the weight of the overburden. Beyond these limited objectives, measurements are being analyzed to evaluate the usefulnessmore »« less
