Review of some poroelastic effects in rock mechanics

Abstract This paper reviews by examples some critical pore pressure effects in rock mechanics. The influence of pore pressure on the shear, effective compressive and tensile stresses around a borehole are examined. The impact on hydraulic fracturing is also briefly explored.
