    Abstract
  • The compliance of the drilling-rod hydraulic fracturing in-situ stress measurement can affect the determination accuracy of the maximum horizontal principal stress. Utilizing tensile strengths based on the hollow cylinder hydraulic fracturing test to replace reopening pressures to calculate maximum horizontal principal stresses is a very promising option to cut down the negative effects from the drilling-rod test system. Eight hydraulic fracturing in-situ stress measurement tests were conducted in a 65 m-deep borehole in an under-construction railway tunnel in Fujian Province. Seventeen hollow cylinders made from the cores recovered from the same borehole were fractured hydraulically in laboratory. The average tensile strength based on the hollow cylinder hydraulic fracturing test is 8.40 MPa, which is close to 8.22 MPa, that determined by the classic hydraulic fracturing in-situ stress measurement. For the 8 in-situ stress measurements within a very narrow depth range of 20 m, the average value of the minimum horizontal principal stress is 8.41 MPa, and the average value of the maximum horizontal principal stress based on the hollow-cylinder tensile strength is 16.88 MPa, which is close to 16.70 MPa, the average value that calculated by the reopening pressure. The relationship between the three major principal stresses is σH > σV > σh, which is favorable for the strike-slip faulting. Based on the comparative analysis, for the drilling-rod hydraulic fracturing test system, when the test depth is shallow and the system compliance is minor, there are no marked differences in the calculated maximum principal stresses between based on the reopening pressures and the hollow-cylinder-test tensile strengths, which proves that the tensile strengths based on the hollow-cylinder test can be utilized to calculate the maximum horizontal principal stress during the hydraulic fracturing in-situ stress measurement; at the same time, the tensile strength of rock mass in the test interval, determined by the field hydraulic fracturing test with minor test system compliance, is definitely reliable for use.
