Monitoring Method

A novel in situ stress monitoring method, based on rheological stress recovery (RSR) theory, was proposed to monitor the stress of rock mass in deep underground engineering. The RSR theory indicates that the tiny hole in the rock can close gradually after it was drilled due to the rheology characteristic, during which process the stress that existed in the rock can be monitored in real-time. Then, a three-dimensional stress monitoring sensor, based on the vibrating wire technique, was developed for in field measurement. Furthermore, the in-field monitoring procedures for the proposed technique are introduced, including hole drilling, sensor installation, grouting, and data acquisition. Finally, two in situ tests were carried out on deep roadways at the Pingdingshan (PDS) No. 1 and No. 11 coal mines to verify the feasibility and reliability of the proposed technique. The relationship between the recovery stress and the time for the six sensor faces are discussed and the final stable values are calculated. The in situ stress components of rock masses under geodetic coordinates were calculated via the coordinate transformation equation and the results are consistent with the in situ stress data by different methods, which verified the effectiveness of the proposed method.

For mine mining, In-situ stress is the fundamental force that causes the deformation and failure of surrounding rock in the mining engineering and supporting, and produces mine dynamic phenomena. Among many factors which affecting the stability of mining engineering, In-situ stress is the main and one of the most fundamental factors. According to the In-situ stress monitoring method some coal mine adopted, this paper introduces the concrete principle and working process.

Local Shear

 The in-situ stress condition in the rock mass is influenced by both tectonic and geological environment, such as faulting and shearing in the rock mass. This influence is of considerable magnitude in the Himalayan region where the tectonic movement is active, resulting periodic dynamic earthquakes. Each large-scale earthquake causes both accumulation and sudden release of strain energy instigating changes in the in-situ stress environment in the rock mass. This paper evaluates the influence of local shear fault on the in-situ stress state along the shot crete lined high pressure tunnel of Upper Tamakoshi Hydroelectric Project, 456 MW in Nepal. A detailed assessment of the in-situ stress state is carried out by using both; measured data and three-dimensional numerical analysis using FLAC3D. The analysis includes evaluation on the possible changes in the in-situ stress state in the rock mass caused by seismic activities (dynamic loading). HYDRO Nepal JournalJournal of Water, Energy and Environment Issue: 23Year: 2018

Rock Mass Strength

The near-face stability of D-shaped tunnels excavated in a Mohr–Coulomb material subjected to anisotropic in situ stress conditions is investigated in the present study. The construction of the intake tunnel of the Darlington Nuclear Generating Station is analyzed using three-dimensional elasto-plastic finite element analysis. The induced displacement and stresses around the tunnel opening as the face advances are compared to the field measurements recorded during the tunnel excavation. The effect of rock mass strength reduction on the tunnel deformation, face stability, and distribution of stresses at the tunnel circumference is investigated for different in situ stress conditions. When the ratio of rock mass strength to overburden pressure falls below 0.5, excessive deformation occurrs and squeezing of the rock mass becomes a problem that can cause instability of both the tunnel circumference and the face.Key words: weak rock, tunnelling, horizontal stresses, three-dimensional, finite element, excavation, face stability.

The factors affecting the TBM tunnel behavior in jointed rock mass is investigated. In the numerical models the concrete segment lining of TBM tunnel is concerned, which is simulated as a tube neglecting the segment joint. And the TBM tunnel construction process is simulate considering the excavation and installing of the segment linings. Some cases are analyzed with different joint orientation, joint spacing, joint strength and tunnel depth. The results show that the shape and areas of loosing zones of the tunnel are influenced by the parameters of joint sets and in-situ stress significantly, such as dip angle, spacing, strength, and the in-situ stress statement. And the stress and deformation of the tunnel lining are influenced by the parameters of joint sets and in-situ stress, too.

The Impact

Large scale underground caverns are under construction in high in-situ stress field at Houziyan hydropower station. To investigate deformation and damage of surrounding rock mass, a elastoplastic orthotropic damage model capable of describing induced orthotropic damage and post-peak behavior of hard rock is used, together with a effective approach accounting for the presence of weak planes. Then a displacement based back analysis was conducted by using the measured deformation data from extensometers. The computed displacements are in good agreement with the measured ones at most of measurement points, which confirm the validities of constitutive model and numerical simulation model. The result of simulation shows that damage of surrounding rock mass is mainly dominated by the high in-situ stress rather than the weak planes and heavy damage occur at the cavern shoulders and side walls.

It is very important to study the pristine stress field in Civil, Mining, Petroleum engineering as well as in Geology, Geophysics, and Seismology. There are various methods of determination of in-situ stress in rock mass. However, hydraulic fracturing techniques is the most convenient method to determine and interpret the test results.
