Introduction
Saint Venant’s Principle
• Saint Venant’s Principle
– The stresses due to two statically equivalent loadings applied over a small area are significantly different only in the vicinity the area on which the loadings are applied, and at distances which are large in comparison with the linear dimensions of the area on which the loadings are applied, the effect due to these two loadings are the same
– In other words, local change doesn’t make a global change as long as the resultant forces are the same
– Fundamentally, local stress tends to diffuses

Stresses distribution around a borehole Requirements (2D)
• Stress equilibrium Eq.
• Compatability Eq.
• Boundary condition (inner hole, and/or far field (in situ) stress)
• Typically assume CHILE (Continuous, Homogeneous, Isotropic and Linearly-Elastic) materials
• DIANE (Discontinuous, Inhomogeneous, Anisotropic, and Non-Elastic) materials require more complex analysis

• Some insights;
• Stresses distribution around a borehole is
– independent of size of radius
– independent of Elastic modulus of rocks
– Poisson’s ratio has some influence on vertical stress distribution (in vertical hole)
