Abstract:The vertical stress of underground rock mass can be evaluated by depth times the average unit weight of overlying rock mass. However,horizontal stress is difficult to estimate. Based on the fact that rock fracture toughness is a constant,two-collinear crack model is applied to establish the stability condition of fractured rock mass. From this stability condition,the range of horizontal stress can be evaluated;and the evaluation result agrees well with in-situ measurement results,so that indicating the evaluation method is effective and feasible. Through the stability condition of fractured rock mass,we can well explain the phenomenon that the ratio of horizontal stress to vertical stress in shallow zone is scattered in a wide range;but in deep zone,it is scatted in a narrow range.
