For near-surface measurements, overcoring of the borehole-deformation gage is the most convenient and rapid means of obtaining reliable values for the magnitude and direction of the state of stress in rocks<span> </span><i>in situ</i>. The magnitudes and directions of the principal stresses are compared to the geologic features of the different areas of measurement.
