Book Stress Field of the Earth s Crust

Download or read book Stress Field of the Earth s Crust written by Arno Zang and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2009-12-06 with total page 327 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Stress Field of the Earth’s Crust is based on lecture notes prepared for a course offered to graduate students in the Earth sciences and engineering at University of Potsdam. In my opinion, it will undoubtedly also become a standard reference book on the desk of most scientists working with rocks, such as geophysicists, structural geologists, rock mechanics experts, as well as geotechnical and petroleum en- neers. That is because this book is concerned with what is probably the most pe- liar characteristic of rock – its initial stress condition. Rock is always under a natural state of stress, primarily a result of the gravitational and tectonic forces to which it is subjected. Crustal stresses can vary regionally and locally and can reach in places considerable magnitudes, leading to natural or man-made mechanical failure. P- existing stress distinguishes rock from most other materials and is at the core of the discipline of “Rock Mechanics”, which has been developed over the last century. Knowledge of rock stress is fundamental to understanding faulting mechanisms and earthquake triggering, to designing stable underground caverns and prod- tive oil fields, and to improving mining methods and geothermal energy extraction, among others. Several books have been written on the subject, but none has atte- ted to be as all-encompassing as the one by Zang and Stephansson.

Book In situ Stress Determination in Soil and Rock Using the Acoustic Emission Method

Download or read book In situ Stress Determination in Soil and Rock Using the Acoustic Emission Method written by Arthur E. Lord and published by . This book was released on 1984 with total page 6 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A project was undertaken to determine how well acoustic emission (AE) techniques could be used to determine the existing stress state in rock and soil masses. It was found in rock that the Kaiser Effect (No AE until previous stress level EXCEEDED) was obeyed for short times (delay times) after stress application, but was not obeyed for delay times longer than about 100-1000 hours. In soil, the Kaiser effect was obeyed, but the effect of delay times was not investigated. These results apply to a very wide variety of rock and soil types. A Goodman rock jack was retrofitted with an AE transducer assembly and field tested in large discrete rock masses at a rock quarry and in bore holes in six different sites with varying rock types. This acoustic-rock jack functioned very well above and below the water table. The existing horizontal stresses, predicted from breaks in the AE versus applied stress curves, were of the same order (on the higher end) as those determined by more conventional mthods of determining the existing stress state. A Menard pressuremeter was retrofitted with an AE transducer assembly, and used in bore holes in the field in various soil types. Preliminary field work has shown this acoustic pressuremeter to work well to depths of 10 feet (only used above the water table so far). The existing horizontal (lateral) stresses predicted from the AE pressuremeter results were in the higher portion of the expected values.

Book In Situ Stress Reconstruction Using Rock Memory

Download or read book In Situ Stress Reconstruction Using Rock Memory written by Chung-min Hsieh and published by . This book was released on 2013 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: [Truncated abstract] Knowledge of in situ stress for underground construction or excavations is important. With an input of in situ stress magnitude/orientations, one can predict the potential failure, improve the efficiency of ground support and/or provide the parameters for numerical modelling/planning to make the design cost effective. In this thesis, two rock memory-based in situ stress measurement methods, the acoustic emission method and the Deformation rate analysis method, were studied. The acoustic emission method utilizes the Kaiser effect to recover the previously applied maximum stress, which is expected to be the in situ stress. The phenomenon that Kaiser has found and the usage of the Kaiser effect for the in situ stress measurement were reviewed, and a series of tests in aluminium, agate, sandstone, ultramafic and slate samples with different conditions in the sample end was performed. The result shows that the Kaiser effect method of the in situ stress determination has severe limitations. Firstly, the asperities/irregularities/residual material at the sample ends at low stress can manifest themselves as the Kaiser effect. This 'ghost' Kaiser effect created by the sample ends is not related to the rock memory and it is an artefact of the test preparation. A thin plastic sheet (TML strain gauge) plus silicone gel can be a buffer material to reduce the noise from end. A multichannel source location system could also be able to detect the origin of signal. Secondly, the process of crack generation/growth can create sufficient change in the stress path in the following loading cycle. Because the Kaiser effect is masked by the acoustic emission associated with the damage accumulation, the acoustic emission could start much earlier than the previous maximum stress. In order to prevent the damage accumulation from imitating the Kaiser effect and misleading the analysis, one should find the stress range in which the Kaiser effect can be detected, before using the Kaiser effect as a stress measurement method...

Book Engineering Disturbed Rock Mass Structural Mechanics  Stress Disturbance and Freeze Thaw on Rock Structure Deterioration

Download or read book Engineering Disturbed Rock Mass Structural Mechanics Stress Disturbance and Freeze Thaw on Rock Structure Deterioration written by Yu Wang and published by Scientific Research Publishing, Inc. USA. This book was released on 2021-03-29 with total page 305 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is intended as a reference book for advanced graduate students and research engineers in rock mechanics related to mining, civil engineering, etc. Environmental and human-induced loading acting on manmade works is disturbed in essence. During construction and operation of major engineering projects, e.g., civil engineering, mining engineering, hydraulic engineering, bridge engineering and petroleum engineering, the structures built in or on rock mass not only bear the complex in situ conditions, e.g., stress, seepage, faulting, thermal and chemical coupling, but also often encounter a variety of stress disturbances during engineering construction and operation periods, the stress disturbance acted on rock mass structures can be low-medium strain rate, and also high strain rate. Along with the constructions on rock mass, a lot of disasters, e.g., tunnel rockburst, induced seismicity and sand liquefaction, are cyclic and dynamic processes.
