Features: This book briefly introduces the causes of ground stress, its general distribution patterns, and the process of human understanding of ground stress. It systematically discusses the principles and methods of ground stress measurement, the achievements and current development status. It provides a comprehensive introduction to the stress relief method, which is currently the most widely used in domestic and international applications. The book also introduces a series of techniques and measures proposed by the author after long-term theoretical research, laboratory experiments, and field measurements. These techniques consider the nonlinearity, discontinuity, heterogeneity, and anisotropy of rock masses, as well as correct temperature compensation, significantly improving the accuracy of stress relief measurements.
