In-situ stress measurement by overcoring and hydraulic fracturing of Pahang-Selangor raw water transfer project
Romziah Azit1, Mohd Ashraf Mohamad Ismail2, Norzani Mahmood3.
Estimation of in-situ stress orientation and magnitude is necessary for assessing the
excavation risks for Pahang-Selangor Raw Water Transfer (PSRWT) tunnel project.
However, the in-situ stress state of the rock generally differs according to area and
depth. Therefore, the in-situ stress measurements test in the tunnel are determined in
three (3) locations, which are at Adit 2, TBM 2, and Adit 3, in which the overburdens are
227, 1130, and 570 m, respectively. The stress relief method of overcoring technique and
hydraulic fracturing by high stiffness system were applied for this project. The results
demonstrate that the existence of high vertical stress was estimated in particular in the
TBM 2. The maximum principal stress is determined nearly along the vertical direction.
Meanwhile, the stress in the horizontal plane is relatively small, and the horizontal to
vertical stress ratio is less than one (1). The direction of the horizontal stress obtained is
N8E, N14W, and N41E. Results indicate that this method is suitable for estimating in-situ
stresses in deep tunnels. The above data and their interpretations enhance the stress
database for Peninsular Malaysia
