The stressed state of the rock mass in the area of the Outokumpu deep drill hole, Finland, was investigated by the boundaryelement method in three mutually orthogonal planes with regard for the massif geological structure. It was found that subhorizontal components of the stress field are determined by tectonic forces acting on the boundaries of the European part of the Eurasian lithospheric plate. In the drill hole vertical section the widest variations of this field gradient occur at the depths of an ophiolite sequence in the range of 1.8-2.0 km., Stepan Savchenko and Feliks Gorbatsevich., and Obsahuje bibliografii
We studied the geophysical, physical, and geomechanical parameters of the Podlesí granites in the western part of the Krušné hory Mts., near the village of Potůčky. The granites represent a fractionated intrusion within the Nejdecký Massif. In total, the studied borehole is about 300 m deep. The samples were collected at depths of between 35 and 105 metres. Seismic P-wave and S-wave velocities were measured using ultrasonic scanning. The samples were water-saturated, unsaturated, and dried. The ultrasonic scanning system consisted of four piezoelectric sensors and a digital oscilloscope recorder. The wave frequency was 1 MHz. P-wave velocities range from 4400 m.s-1 to 6500 m.s-1 while S-wave velocities range from 2800 m.s-1 to 3800 m.s-1. These data were used to calculate dynamic Young’s modulus, dynamic shear modulus, and Poisson’s ratio. The deformational characteristics of the rock were specified from experimental loading of the sample with uniaxial strain. The shear and longitudinal deformation of each sample was measured using a resistive strain gauge fixed directly on the sample. Intermittent loading of the samples proceeded using a uniform gradient of axial stress of 1 MPa.s-1. The samples were subjected to five separate loads. During the tests, following parameters were recorded: stress, longitudinal deformation, and shear deformation. These data were used to calculate static Young’s and shear modulus, and Poisson’s ratio., Lucie Nováková, Karel Sosna, Milan Brož, Jan Najser and Petr Novák., and Obsahuje bibliografii
