Abstract:Knowledge of in situ stress magnitude and orientation plays an important role in geological/geotechnical engineering and in the development of energy resources, such as caprock integrity, waste fluid disposal, geological storage of CO2, and geothermal energy extraction. The uncertainty of estimated parameters, especially horizontal stress, from in situ tests such as pressuremeter tests, is a long-existing challenge due to the existence of uncertainties from geomaterial spatial variability, measurement errors, … Show more
