Estimation of fracture initiation pressure is one of the most difficult technical challenges in hydraulic fracturing treatment of vertical or horizontal oil wells. In this study, the influence of in-situ stresses and pore pressure values on fracture initiation pressure and its profile in vertical and horizontal oil wells in a normal stress regime have been investigated. Cohesive elements with traction-separation law (XFEM-based cohesive law) are used for simulating the fracturing process in a fluid-solid coupling finite element model. The maximum nominal stress criterion is selected for initiation of damage in the cohesive elements. The stress intensity factors are verified for both XFEM-based cohesive law and analytical solution to show the validation of the cohesive law in fracture modeling where the compared results are in a very good agreement with less than 1% error. The results showed that, generally by increasing the difference between the maximum and minimum horizontal stress, the fracture pressure and its profile has been strongly changed in the vertical wells. Also, it's been clearly observed that in a horizontal well drilled in the direction of minimum horizontal stress, the values of fracture pressure have been significantly affected by the difference between overburden pressure and maximum horizontal stress. Additionally, increasing pore pressure from under-pressure regime to over-pressure state has made a considerable fall on fracture pressure in both vertical and horizontal oil wells.

The Purpose of this study was to analyze the stresses and displacements of various post and core. The Finite element models of central incisors were divided into seven types according to the various amount of remaining tooth structures. $10kgf/mm^2$ force was applied respectively as follows : 1) Horizontal on the labial surface 2) $26^{\circ}$ diagonal direction on the lingual surface. Material property, geometry, and load condition of each model were inputted to the two dimensional ANSYS 4.4A finite element program : stresses and displacements were analyzed. Results were follows : 1. In the case of $130^{\circ}$ shoulder post and core, Maximum tensile and shear stresses were observed in the crown margin. 2. Maximum shear stress was about 29% reduced by contrabevel. 3. In the case of 1mm axial tooth structure, Maximum tensile stress observed in the dentin. 4. In the case of but joint of cervix, Maximum stress concentration was observed in the dentin by the inclined and horizontal force. 5. Horizontal force produced the extraordinary high stresses in dentin and supporting structures. 6. The amount of remaining tooth structure affected the level of stress significantly and it determined the location of stress concentration.

Combining the radial well drilling and hydraulic fracturing technique, the production capacity of the reservoirs with low-permeability can be improved effectively. Due to the existence of radial holes, the stress around the well is redistributed, and the initiation and propagation of hydraulic fractures are different with those in traditional hydraulic fracturing. Therefore, it is necessary to study the influences of radial horizontal wells on hydraulic fracturing. The laboratory experiment was conducted to simulate the hydraulic fracturing on the physical model with radial holes. The experimental results showed that, compared with the borehole without radial holes, the sample with radial hole in the direction of maximum horizontal stress was fractured with significantly lower pressure. As the angle between direction of the horizontal hole and the maximum horizontal stress increased, the breakdown pressure grew. While when the radial hole was drilled towards the direction of the minimum horizontal stress, the breakdown pressure increased to that needed in the borehole without radial holes. When the angle between the radial hole and the maximum horizontal stress increase, the pressure required to propagate the fractures grew apparently, and the fracture become complex. Meanwhile, the deeper the radial hole drilled, the less the pressure was needed for fracturing.

It has been reported that cracks in mechanical joints is generally under mixed-mode and there is critical inclined angle at which mode I stress intensity factor becomes maximum. The crack propagates in arbitrary direction and thus the prediction of crack growth path is needed to provide against crack propagation or examine safety. In order to evaluate the fatigue life of cracks in mechanical joints, horizontal crack normal to the applied load and located on minimum cross section is major concern but critical inclined crack must also be considered. In this paper mixed-mode fatigue crack growth test is performed far horizontal crack and critical inclined crack in mechanical joints. Fatigue crack growth path is predicted by maximum tangential stress criterion using stress intensity factor obtained from weight function method, and fatigue crack growth rates of horizontal and inclined crack are compared.

본 연구에서는 포항 도움산 지역 내 시험공 3개소의 심도 75 m~716 m 구간에서 획득된 원위치 암반 초기응력 측정 자료를 바탕으로 포항분지 제3기 지층 내에 형성되어 있는 수평응력 분포 특성을 분석하였다. 수압파쇄법에 의한 대심도 초기응력 측정 결과, 조사 지역의 수평응력 성분 크기는 국내 여러 지역 자료에 대한 선형 회귀분석으로부터 계산된 평균값에 비해 매우 낮은 범위의 값을 나타내었다. 그러나 시추공 스캐닝 조사에서 분포 암종의 낮은 강도 특성에 의해 유발된 다양한 규모의 시추공 파괴 현상들이 다수 확인되었다. 최대 수평응력의 방향성에 대한 보다 정확하고 폭넓은 정보를 도출하기 위해 수압파쇄시험과 시추공 스캐닝 자료에 대한 통합 분석을 추가적으로 수행하였다. 분석 결과, 상부 퇴적암층과 하부 화산암층에서 최대 수평응력 작용 방향은 각각 진북 기준 $80^{\circ}{\sim}100^{\circ}$ (N80E~N80W)와 $120^{\circ}{\sim}140^{\circ}$ (N60W~N40W) 방위각에서 우세한 방향성을 나타내었다. 이러한 연구 결과로부터 심도 증가로 지층이 변화함에 따라 최대 수평응력 방향이 시계 방향으로 회전하는 경향성을 확인할 수 있었다.

In order to investigate the effect of different perforation angles (the angle between the perforation direction and the maximum horizontal principal stress) on the fracture initiation and propagation during hydraulic fracturing of highly deviated well in oil & gas saturated formation, laboratory experiments of the hydraulic fracturing had been carried out on the basis of non-dimensional similar criteria by using 400^3 $mm^3$ cement cubes. A plane fracture can be produced when the perforations are placed in the direction of the maximum horizontal principal stress. When the perforation angle is $45^{\circ}$, the fractures firstly initiate from the perforations at the upper side of the wellbore, and then turn to the maximum horizontal principal stress direction. When the well deviation angle and perforation angle are both between $45^{\circ}$ and $90^{\circ}$, the fractures hardly initiate from the perforations at the lower side of the wellbore. Well azimuth (the angle between the wellbore axis and the maximum horizontal principal stress) has a little influence on the fracture geometries; however it mainly increases the fracture roughness, fracture continuity and the number of secondary fractures, and also increases the fracture initiation and propagation pressure. Oriented perforating technology should be applied in highly deviated well to obtain a single plane fracture. If the well deviation angle is smaller, the fractures may link up.

본 연구에서는 베인에 작용하는 수평응력과 토크를 측정한 다음 이를 이용하여 모래의 마찰각을 구하는 연구를 수행하였다. 건조한 낙동강모래를 원통형 셀에 느슨하거나 조밀한 상태로 성형한 다음 상부에서 공기압 실린더로 상재하중(overburden pressure)을 25, 50, 75 또는 100kPa 가하여 베인(직경 5cm, 높이 10cm) 회전 시 주변에 작용하는 수평응력과 토크를 실시간으로 측정하였다. 베인 회전에 따른 최대 토크값은 느슨한 모래는 3.5~9.5Nm, 조밀한 모래는 7.4-17.6Nm 사이로 상재하중이 증가할수록 최대 토크값도 증가하였다. 조밀한 정도에 관계없이 $14-20^{\circ}$ 회전 시 최대 토크값에 도달하였으며, 베인날과 토압계의 초기 위치에 따른 최대값의 차이는 나지 않았다. 상재하중에 따라 베인에 작용하는 초기 수평응력비($K_0$)는 평균 0.33-0.35 사이이며, 베인 회전에 따라 수평응력이 전반적으로 증가하다가 모래 입자가 교란되면서 다시 감소하는 경향을 보였다. 실시간으로 측정된 수평응력과 토크를 이용하여 계산된 마찰각은 상재하중이 증가함에 따라 감소하는 경향을 보였으며, 느슨한 모래는 직접전단시험 결과와 유사한 마찰각을 보였다. 하지만, 조밀한 모래의 마찰각은 다소 과대평가하는 경향을 보였다.

PURPOSES: In Korea, rapid maintenance of distressed concrete pavement is required to prevent traffic jam of the highway. Asphalt concrete overlay has been used as a general maintenance method of construction for aged concrete pavement. AC overlay on existing concrete pavements experience various early distresses such as reflection crack, pothole and rutting, due to different physical characteristics between asphalt overlay and existing concrete pavement. Bonded concrete overlay(BCO) is a good alternative since it has advantages that can reduce various distresses during the service life since overlay material has similar properties with existing concrete pavements. Recently, BCO which uses the ultra rapid harding cement has been applied for maintenance of highway. BCO has advantage of structural performance since it does monolithic behave with existing pavement. Therefore, it is important to have a suitable bond strength criteria for securing performance of BCO. Bond strength criteria should be larger than normal tensile stress and horizontal shear stress occurred by traffic and environmental loading at bond interface. Normal tensile stress and horizontal shear stress need to estimated for the establishment of practical bond strength criteria. METHODS: This study aimed to estimate the bond stresses at the interface of BCO using the three dimensional finite element analysis. RESULTS: As a result of this study, major failure mode and maximum bond stress are evaluated through the analysis of normal tensile stress and horizontal shear stress for various traffic and environmental load conditions. CONCLUSIONS: It was known that normal tensile stresses are dominated by environmental loading, and, horizontal shear stresses are dominated by traffic loading. In addition, bond failure occurred by both of normal tensile stresses and horizontal shear stresses; however, normal tensile stresses are predominated over horizontal shear stresses.
