TL;DR: In this article, three distinct regional patterns of maximum compressive horizontal stress (SHmax) orientation can be defined from these data: a consistent NW to NNW SHmax stress orientation in western Europe, a WNW-ESE SHmax orientation in Scandinavia, similar to western Europe but with a larger variability of SHmax orientations; and a consistent E-W SHMAX orientation and N-S extension in the Aegean Sea and western Anatolia.
Journal ArticleDOI
Stress measurements and tectonic implications for Fennoscandia
TL;DR: The main results from the Fennoscandian Rock Stress Data Base (FRSDB) are presented in this article, where it is suggested that ridge push from the Mid-Atlantic Ridge is the major stress-generating mechanism.
Journal ArticleDOI
New developments in hydrofracturing stress measurements at Luleå university of technology
TL;DR: Instrumental and theoretical developments in hydrofracturing stress measurements at Lulea University of Technology since the first workshop in Monterey in 1981 are described and the general experience with the method in Sweden is summarized in this paper.
Journal ArticleDOI
Estimation of virgin rock stresses from horizontal hydrofractures
TL;DR: In this paper, an alternative theory for the determination of in situ stresses from hydraulic fracturing tests when the hydrofractures are either vertical or horizontal is presented, which uses the Hoek and Brown criterion instead of the maximum tensile stress failure criterion.
Sleeve Fracturing - A Borehole Technique For In-situ Determination of Rock Deformability And Rock Stresses
TL;DR: Sleeve fracturing is a borehole technique for in-situ determination of rock demformability and rock stresses as mentioned in this paper, which can be used for in situ determination of in situ demformation and stress.
