Strength criterion for rocks under compressivetensile ...
The borehole should break under pore pressure about 5 MPa, not need pump pressure at all, if it was poured with water. The borehole of Ertan at a depth of 30 m would crack after drilling, for the magnitudes of 3σ h − σ H is low to −9 MPa, about the tensile strength of surrounding rocks.
