====Overcoring Method====
Overcoring method is used to determine in-situ stresses from a rock sample extracted from shallow depths, and released to expand freely. This method involves a sequence of steps illustrated in Figure 14. The process of cutting the hollow cylindrical rock, using the tool shown in figure 15, is called overcoring and the resulting change in shape is measured using a device called stressmeter. In general, the maximum expansion of the rock sample occurs in the direction of the maximum horizontal stress (σH).
