Abstract

The Pakistan NJ Water Project is located in a typical Himalayan tectonic belt,the regional geological conditions are more complex,in order to understand the regional stress state distribution,stress measurement is carried out by stress relief method of hollow body.The three-dimensional stress state of six measuring points was obtained by field measurement,the measurement results show that:the overall stress in the region is high,the principal stress value increases linearly with depth,there is a large horizontal tectonic stress.The direction of the main stress shows a better consistency.
