In-situ stress is one of the important rock properties used in different engineering disciplines; there are some techniques applied to determine in-situ stresses. One of them is borehole breakouts to estimate both orientation and magnitudes, carried out in drill holes; they are formed by induced stress exceeding compressive strength of rock around borehole wall. In this paper, estimation of in-situ horizontal stress magnitudes from borehole breakout geometries was studied in terms of depth of breakouts measured from center of borehole. The borehole cross sections were mimicked in FLAC numerical modelling software to establish a relation between ratio of breakout depth to borehole radius and stress magnitudes for given maximum horizontal stress. Then, these were compared with the field data for the back-analysis of numerical solutions. The purpose is obtaining an empirical equation of maximum horizontal stress in terms of breakout depth, borehole radius, compressive strength and minimum horizontal stress for the field studied.

An accuracy assessment methodology for the remotely sensed discontinuities: a case study in Andesite Quarry area, Turkey
Kocal, A.; Duzgun, H. S.; Karpuz, Celal (2007-01-01)
The discontinuities play an important role in both the design and development stages of many geotechnical engineering projects. Therefore, semi-automatic detection of discontinuities based on remote sensing will save a considerable amount of time and cost. Accuracy of the semi-automatically detected discontinuities is also as important as the detection process, since the results directly reflect the uncertainty in the geotechnical problem. The current paper presents an accuracy assessment methodology for se...
Shear strength behavior of granular fill-clayey soil interfaces and improvement with dowels
Öztürk, Şevki; Ergun, Mehmet Ufuk; Department of Civil Engineering (2015)
Shear failures of interfaces between granular material and clay are frequently encountered in engineering practice. In earthfill dams, road embankments and spoil piles in mining operations, granular materials are placed on clay, and shear failures and/or large movements are observed along interfaces. When dealing with this type of a problem selecting representative shear strength parameters is difficult. Furthermore in the literature no accepted procedure is available to select these parameters. This study ...
Shear mode rock fracture toughness determination with a circular plate type specimen under three-point bending
Şener Karakaş, Sinem; Tutluoğlu, Levent; Department of Mining Engineering (2011)
Fracture toughness is an important rock property for rock fracturing and fragmentation applications. Theory and practice of opening mode (mode I) and shearing mode (mode II) fracture toughness tests are still in a developing stage for the cylindrical rock cores. A new circular plate type test specimen is used for mode II fracture toughness testing on rock cores. This involves a straight edge notched circular plate type core disc geometry under three-point bending load; new method and its associated specimen...
Probabilistic-numerical modeling of stability of a rock slope in Amasya-Turkey
Gheibie, Sohrab; Akgün, Aykut; Department of Mining Engineering (2011)
Rock slope stability is considered as one of the most important fields in rock engineering. Developments of computation facilities and increase in application of sophisticated mathematical concepts in engineering problems have also affected the methods of slope stability analysis. In recent years, the numerical modeling methods have extensively applied instead of limit equilibrium methods. Also, the probabilistic methods are considered in rock slope designs to quantify the uncertainties of input effecting v...
Plastic slip patterning driven by rate dependent non convex strain gradient plasticity
Yalçınkaya, Tuncay; Geers, M G D (2010-05-17)
The mechanical response of many engineering materials is often influenced by an existing or emerging microstructure (martensite, dislocation sub-structures, voids, shear bands etc.). There have been various approaches to model the formation and evolution of such microstructures which involve coupled models. The difficulty in the modeling of these multi-field coupled problems is the localization of the corresponding field and strain hardening-softening elastoplastic behavior which yields numerical instabilit...
