Question

3. The following convergence measurements (U) have been made in a 4.6-m-diameter circular vertical shaft in good quality granitic rock mass (Em = 40 GPa, ν = 0.2): θ (deg) U (mm) 0 2.25 45 2.39 90 1.50 135 1.00

a) Derive the equations that relate convergence to in situ stress.

b) The angle θ is measured (clockwise) with respect to the x-axis, which is oriented 30 degrees clockwise from True North. What is the orientation of the maximum principal stress with respect to True North?
