GEOSTRESS STATE AND REGIONAL STABILITY ASSASSMENT OF SHENZHEN
Abstract:Shenzhen City of Guangdong Province, one of the special districts open to the outside world, is a new-emerging and modernized city. Thr Wuhua-shenzhen fault of Lianhuashan mobile belt goes through the city. So the regional stability of Shenzhen is the key to the development of the city, and should be stidied and scientifically assessed. During 1985-1987, a series of analyses and survey such as geostress survey, simulation experiment and stress field analysis have been made. And the results show that the geostress state of Shenzhen is predominantly of horizontal stresses and the maximum principal compressive stress value of 2.6 MPa and a similar value of the minimum principal stress as well as a low maximum shear stress value of 0-0.37Mpa.
