Abstract:In order to determine the in situ stress state of the newly built hydropower station project in Jiacha county, and understand the activity of the eastern segment of the Yarlung Zangbo River fault zone, we obtained the in situ stress data in the engineering field by using the self-developed deep-hole stress measuring equipment based on the hydraulic fracturing method. We analyzed the fault activity by employing the Mohr-Coulomb failure criterion and the collected in situ stress data along the eastern segment of… Show more
