Rock mechanics

the natural state of stress in rock before excavation, whose vertical part grows with depth and whose horizontal-to-vertical ratio varies widely.

In rock mechanics, in situ stress refers to the natural state of stress in rock before excavation, whose vertical part grows with depth and whose horizontal-to-vertical ratio varies widely. This meaning comes from Brown (1978) in International Journal of Rock Mechanics and Mining Sciences & Geomechanics Abstracts.[1]
