Acoustic Emission Test

The CSIRO overcoring stress relief and hydraulic fracturing methods are the most popular methods used for the measurement of in-situ stress at depth. One major advantage of the CSIRO overcoring stress relief method is that the three dimensional state of stress can be obtained, but the measurement must be done in an excavated tunnel[1]. Hydraulic fracturing method can be carried out on the ground surface, but it assumed that one of the principal stresses direction is vertical[2,3]. In terms of the disadvantages of the two methods, the techniques based on core orientation and acoustic emission behavior of rocks are incorporated in the in-situ stress measurement in order to obtain the in-situ stress conditions at depth in Shuichang Iron Mine. According to the comparison of the measurement data obtained from the acoustic emission test in the laboratory and CSIRO overcoring stress relief measurement in the field, effectiveness of the acoustic emission test is confirmed. In addition, the relationships between in-situ stresses and tectonic settings are analyzed. Finally, the distribution of in-situ stresses in Shuichang Iron Mine is given, which provides a meaningful guideline for the following mining and design.

In Situ Stress Measurement

Estimation of in-situ stress orientation and magnitude is necessary for assessing the excavation risks for Pahang-Selangor Raw Water Transfer (PSRWT) tunnel project. However, the in-situ stress state of the rock generally differs according to area and depth. Therefore, the in-situ stress measurements test in the tunnel are determined in three (3) locations, which are at Adit 2, TBM 2, and Adit 3, in which the overburdens are 227, 1130, and 570 m, respectively. The stress relief method of overcoring technique and hydraulic fracturing by high stiffness system were applied for this project. The results demonstrate that the existence of high vertical stress was estimated in particular in the TBM 2. The maximum principal stress is determined nearly along the vertical direction. Meanwhile, the stress in the horizontal plane is relatively small, and the horizontal to vertical stress ratio is less than one (1). The direction of the horizontal stress obtained is N8E, N14W, and N41E. Results indicate that this method is suitable for estimating in-situ stresses in deep tunnels. The above data and their interpretations enhance the stress database for Peninsular Malaysia
