RESUMO

This thesis presents the results from an experimental program with intention to determine the properties of deformabilty and in situ stress in gnaissic rocks. The determination of in situ stress is fundamental for any work in rock mechanics, it is use like field conditions at the in engineering problems, and in bigger scales it gives some indications of the mechanics that produce the tectonics plate`s movements. The deformation`s modulus is one of the main parameters in the analysis of the behavior of rocks mass that include deformations. This parameter usually is gotten from laboratory assays in rocks samples. In general the results of these assays do not represent the in situ properties of all the rock mass, therefore an intact rock sample in laboratory could be smaller that the rock mass that contains a great number of weakness planes. This research understands the stages of project, assembly and application of the pressuremeter as an instrument for the determination of the deformability and in situ stress parameters in rock mass. The gotten data had been used to investigate the variation of these parameters with the weathering degree. An instrumentation system was projected to try to monitor the answer of the rock to load (in the case of deformability`s modulus) and unload (in the case of in situ stress measurement). The application of the pressuremeter was carried trough in rock masses located in the Rio de Janeiro city whose were affected by different levels of weathering. Assays of pressurization and measurements of displacements at the moment of the hole drilling in order to determine the in situ stress. The results had been processing, interpreted and compared with laboratory assays previously carried trough by another authors.
