Title:
TECTONIC STRESS MEASUREMENT METHOD
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2018/123269
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
In the present invention, from the shape of a measurement cross-section, which is set in a direction orthogonal to the longitudinal direction, of a boring core (BC1) acquired by excavating crust or ground in the excavation direction of a well (1), the following are measured: the length of the measurement cross-section diameter (Dmax) where the strain amount with respect to a reference circle diameter is largest; and the length of the diameter (Dmin) where the strain amount with respect to the reference circle diameter is smallest. From the shape of a measurement cross-section, which is set in a direction orthogonal to the longitudinal direction, of a side-wall core (SC1) acquired by excavating ground from the well (1), the following are measured: the length of the vertical-direction diameter (d1|φ=0) of the measurement cross-section; and the length of the horizontal-direction diameter (d1|φ=90). The maximum horizontal stress and the minimum horizontal stress among three-dimensional stress elements are calculated from: a formula representing the differential stress between the maximum horizontal stress and the minimum horizontal stress acting on the ground; and a formula representing the differential stress between horizontal stress orthogonal to the longitudinal direction of the side-wall core (SC1) and vertical stress.
