The stress state in the earth's crust plays a very important role
for engineering constructed in rock, especially underground works.
Experience has demonstrated that an adequately high horizontal
in-situ stress has a positive effect in stabilizing large span rock
caverns near the ground's surface. On the other hand, high stresses
resulting from large overburden, for example, may cause spalling
and rock burst, threatening the integrity of the construction,
whether this is a tunnel, cavern or a petroleum well. Both
magnitude and orientation of in-situ rock stresses influence
greatly location, orientation and support design of underground
structures. Several factors may contribute to, and influence upon,
the formation of in-situ rock stress including gravity, topography,
tectonic effect, residual stress, pore pressure change and
geological structures. This makes it difficult to evaluate in-situ
rock stress by indirect means. In other words, physical
measurements have to be performed in order to get the true and
accurate knowledge of in-situ rock stress. However, a number of
indirect methods give approximate estimate of the rock stress which
may be the only available method and often good enough for
engineering purposes. In the last years, substantial development in
techniques for measuring in-situ stress and interpretation of the
measurement result has taken place. 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 related to tunnelling,
mining and petroleum exploration and production.
