Geo-Stress Direction Evaluation Method Based on Numerical Simulation

Article Preview

Abstract:

The phenomenon of spalling at Baihetan Hydropower Station is influenced by such factors as the stress redistribution in surrounding rock, the local stress concentration and also poor properties of disturbed belt. In this paper, a series of numerical simulation were carried out and some beneficial conclusions were gained as follows: 1) the ratio of maximum shear stress and uniaxial compressive strength is more rational in the prediction of spalling and can give confident explanation for “V” shape pits; 2) the in-situ geo-stress direction is in accordance with NNE and NE.
