Abstract

Core disking is sometimes observed in high stress region where rock stress measurements are performed by the Compact Conical-ended Borehole Overcoring (CCBO) Technique, which is one of the stress relief methods. When the tensile stress induced on the borehole bottom surface becomes larger than the tensile strength of the rock, a failure from the borehole bottom surface will be imitated. Therefore, if the stress changes on the borehole bottom surface can be analyzed during overcoring, the rock stress prior to boring may be estimated.<BR>In this paper, assuming that the tensile stress on a borehole bottom surface induced due to overcoring is one of factors of generating core disking, the mechanism of the core disking in the CCBO is discussed as well as the location of failure initiation and the type of failure. Firstly, the characteristics of core disking in the CCBO is shown. Secondly, simulating the overcoring of the CCBO under three dimensional initial stress state in which the axis of a principal stress coincides with that of a borehole, the failure initiated on the borehole bottom surface during the overcoring is discussed, based on the results calculated by a semi-analytical boundary element process for axisymmetric elasticity with arbitrary boundary element conditions. From the results, the criterion of core disking is suggested and the applicable limitation of the CCBO is made clear. Furthermore, the X-ray CT method is applied to the recovered core with core disking, and then the state of failure within the core is visualized. Finally, it is discussed that the rock stress prior to boring is estimated by the suggested criterion of the core disking, comparing the neighboring rock stress measurement and tensile strength obtained from cores.
