Abstract
Before measuring virgin stresses with some of the methods discussed in the following chapters, an attempt should be made to obtain an estimate of the in situ stress field. This can be done, for instance, from stress versus depth relationships or observations obtained from stress measurements made in the past in the region of interest or by extrapolation from regions with similar geological and tectonic settings. Information can also be derived from the topography, the geology, the rock fabric, the rock loading history, the first motion analysis of earthquakes, the occurrence of stress release phenomena (squeezing, pop-ups, buckling, etc.), breakouts in boreholes, tunnels and shafts, rock bursts, and the presence of stratification, heterogeneities or geological structures (faults, folds, shear zones, uncomformities, volcanic vents and dikes). Estimating in situ stresses can be useful in the early stage of engineering design, for the planning process and when selecting stress measuring methods and the location of those measurements.
