BEHAVIOR OF A RIGID INCLUSION STRESSMETER IN AN ANISOTROPIC STRESS FIELD
The rigid inclusion stressmeter is a relatively low-cost instrument developed by Hawkes and Bailey (1973) and was originally intended to monitor stress changes in mine pillars subjected to uniaxial stress changes. More recently, there have been attempts to use the stressmeter for determining more general changes of the in-situ rock stress. This paper reports on a study to characterize the performance of the rigid inclusion stressmeter for this application and presents results on the effect of anisotropic stress changes. These stress changes must be accounted for to properly analyze general changes of the in situ rock stress. For the covering abstract of the symposium see TRIS 452576. (TRRL)
