Stress and Texture Investigations by Means of Neutron Diffraction Opening Remarks Ove Stephansson Seismic Hazard and Stress Field GFZ German Research Centre for Geosciences Potsdam
Characterization of an Area, Site for a Rock Engineering Project Produce a 3-D model of the site and target area • Topography • Soil cover • Rock mass lithology • Structural geology • Hydrogeology • Geochemistry • Thermal properties • Rock mechanics • Rock stress
