Abstract

As a natural inherent stress in geological formations, ground stress is a key geological factor affecting engineering stability and safety. Based on authoritative works (e.g., Geological Hazards and Prevention [1], Engineering Geomechanics [2]) and recent research, this study systematically explores the relationship between ground stress and engineering construction, analyzes its impact mechanisms in tunnels, mines, hydropower dams, and other major projects, and reviews the latest progress in ground stress measurement technologies, predictive models, and engineering applications. The research shows that ground stress distribution directly determines engineering support design, disaster risk assessment, and construction safety management. Modern ground stress research has advanced from traditional contact measurements to intelligent, refined monitoring. This paper aims to provide theoretical references for ground stress application in engineering, improving construction scientificity and safety.
