5 Foreword Stress Field of the Earth s Crust is based on lecture notes prepared for a course offered to graduate students in the Earth sciences and engineering at University of Potsdam. In my opinion, it will undoubtedly also become a standard reference book on the desk of most scientists working with rocks, such as geophysicists, structural geologists, rock mechanics experts, as well as geotechnical and petroleum engineers. That is because this book is concerned with what is probably the most peculiar characteristic of rock its initial stress condition. Rock is always under a natural state of stress, primarily a result of the gravitational and tectonic forces to which it is subjected. Crustal stresses can vary regionally and locally and can reach in places considerable magnitudes, leading to natural or man-made mechanical failure. Preexisting stress distinguishes rock from most other materials and is at the core of the discipline of Rock Mechanics, which has been developed over the last century. Knowledge of rock stress is fundamental to understanding faulting mechanisms and earthquake triggering, to designing stable underground caverns and productive oil fields, and to improving mining methods and geothermal energy extraction, among others. Several books have been written on the subject, but none has attempted to be as all-encompassing as the one by Zang and Stephansson. The present book does not limit itself to just providing a detailed description of the known methods of measuring stress in-situ, and of the different stress fields around the globe. It first presents a detailed and thorough description of the concept of stress, the sources of in-situ stress, and rock failure criteria. These first three chapters are the very foundation of rock mechanics, and could be used as a text for an introductory course in this field. The last three chapters go beyond stress measurements, to describe stress profiles through the Earth s crust, regional stress fields, the World Stress Map, and three recent international field projects in which scientists from many countries collaborated, and in which one of the first priorities was the determination of the state of in-situ stress. These are the KTB, SAFOD, and Olkiluoto projects. The book provides excellent summaries of these major projects, the results of which are otherwise scattered over many publications. These case histories are an invaluable resource to researchers, teachers, and students in the Earth sciences. The chapters dealing directly with stress measurements are encyclopedic. Each method listed is presented in some detail, accompanied by an exhaustive list of vii
6 viii Foreword references, so that the reader could dig deep into any of the techniques at the level he/she chooses. The variety of stress measuring methods in practice today is divided logically into borehole- and core-based. Naturally, the more commonly accepted methods, hydrofracturing, overcoring, and borehole breakouts, are given added emphasis, but all methods are treated as equals even if their use at this time is rather rare. PD Dr. Zang and Prof. Stephansson, who are among the top echelon of in-situ stress researchers and consultants, have produced a much needed book on the state of stress in the Earth s crust, one that complements previous texts, which were considerably more restricted in scope. The book thoroughly and convincingly integrates in-situ stress, its sources, measurement, and applications, into the fields of geophysics, geology, geomechanics, and geoengineering. It is therefore that I enthusiastically recommend Stress Field of the Earth s Crust. University of Wisconsin Madison, USA June 2009 Bezalel Haimson
7 Preface Rock stress is a key parameter in solid Earth sciences and technology. Long-term geological processes like plate tectonics are driven by mechanisms that generate different types of stresses in the Earth s crust. These stresses are acting as we extract raw materials from the crust and deposit human altered materials into the crust in boreholes, mines and underground constructions. To better use and save our resources there is an obvious need for a greater understanding of mechanical stresses in the Earth s crust. This book is directed toward graduate students, teachers and practitioners in geology, geophysics and civil, mining, petroleum and rock engineering. The book aims to fill the gap in the existing literature between principles in rock mechanics (Jaeger, Cook & Zimmerman 2007), rock stress measurements (Amadei & Stephansson 1997) and stress regimes in the lithosphere (Engelder 1993). Mechanical stress and rock stress are fictitious terms as stress can never be directly measured. Stresses in rock originate from gravity and tectonic forces and can only be inferred by disturbing the rock by drilling a borehole, making a slot and coring the rock. The drill core can be brought to the laboratory and stresses determined by different physical methods. The complex nature of rocks prevents us from exactly determinating the magnitudes and orientation of the components of the stress tensor and often we have to accept large variability and uncertainties. Stress in rock is usually described in the context of continuum mechanics. To introduce the Stress Field of the Earth s Crust to students in geosciences, one has to adopt methods from a number of otherwise self-supporting disciplines like the theory of elasticity, continuum mechanics, fracture mechanics, structural geology, geophysics, geodesy, experimental physics, rock and petroleum engineering. This book starts by introducing the physical Concept of Stress from continuum mechanics, and continues to describe Rock Failure from classical to strength of material and modern fracture mechanics approaches. The chapter on Rock Stress Terminology, presented from a material sciences and rock engineering viewpoint, is followed by simple physical models describing the variation of stress magnitudes with depth in the Earth s crust. Then a chapter on the Physics of Stress Measurements is presented, where techniques from experimental physics are applied to determine residual stresses using material sciences standard. Methods for determining crustal stresses are separated into Borehole Techniques (e.g., overcoring, ix
8 x Preface hydraulic fracturing, borehole breakouts) and Core-Based Methods (e.g., anelastic strain recovery, Kaiser effect). The focus of the chapter Local Stress Data is to demonstrate facets of integrated stress measuring strategies as applied to scientific deep wells (KTB, Germany), to nuclear waste repository (Olkiluoto, Finland), and to monitor a seismically active fault zone (SAFOD, USA). The chapter Generic Stress Data reports on general trends in stress-magnitude profiles and stress-orientation maps, where stress-state scaling relations are used to find the best estimated stress model. In the last chapter the European and World Stress Map is interpreted in terms of Plate Tectonics by a thermally self-balancing planet Earth. We wrote this as a classical black and white textbook (apart from 8 color figures) taking into account our experience and expertise in the topic. The reader will benefit from the presentation of the material as a textbook combined with DVD movies. Where a movie symbol is found in the margin of the body text of the book, the reader is able to click on the corresponding movie-file of the DVD. The movie material explains complex scientific relationships, demonstrates sophisticated experimental apparatus or field testing equipment for stress determination, and allows filing interviews with experts in rock stress and its measurements. After listening and watching the digital information, the reader returns to the textbook letters. In the case of getting lost while reading or watching, the reader can go directly to the Note-Box at the end of each section. From there, one can work backwards to obtain the full knowledge. The content presented in this book is based on the many years of research and practical work of the two authors. In writing the book, we have made ample references to key publications in related fields and have tried to bring the reader up-to-date about theory, experiments, field tests and stress data compilations and analysis. In doing this, we may have omitted some references and hope the reader will forgive us. The material of this book was first compiled as lecture notes in 1999 when the first author started to teach a course entitled Stress Field of the Earth s Crust at the University of Potsdam for students in geosciences.
