An improved method for estimating in situ stress in an elastic rock mass and its engineering application

The main contribution of this paper is to develop a method to determine the in situ stress on an engineering scale by modifying the elasto-static thermal stress model (Sheorey’s model). The suggested method, firstly, introduces correction factors for the local tectonism to reflect the stress distrib...
