In-situ stresses affect cavern stability
10 November, 1999
Weicheng Jin, Norwegian University of Science and Technology; Einar Broch, Norwegian University of Science and Technology; and Ming Lu, SINTEF, Institute of Civil and Environmental Engineering, describe problems experienced during construction of the Xiaolangdi and Ertan hydropower projects in China. These were due in large measure to the in-situ rock stresses encountered, a subject with important implications for support requirements in structures of this kind in similar rock conditions.
