Mining | A. The pressure to which a rock formation is subjected by the weight of the superimposed rock and rock material or by diastrophic forces created by movements in the rocks forming the Earth's crust. Such pressures may be great enough to cause rocks having a low compressional strength to deform and be squeezed into and close a borehole or other underground opening not adequately strengthened by an artificial support, such as casing or timber. Also called rock pressure. CF:bottom-hole pressur b. The weight of a machine divided by the area in square inches of theground directly supporting it. (references) |
