Use of Mohr diagrams to predict fracturing in rock masses, with applications for predicting sub-surface behavior

Summary: Mohr diagrams are a simple and effective method that can help geoscientists consider, model, and predict the ranges of mechanical properties of rock, stresses, fluid pressures, and the resultant fractures that are likely to occur in the sub-surface. Mohr diagrams can be used to make predict...
