ABSTRACT
Paleostress analysis enables identification of stress history of a studied area. Reliable data are however necessary to get consistent results. Fault planes containing kinematic indicators have to be searched and recognized. If surface field survey is impossible, data are lacking, or deeper parts of a rock environment are being studied, boreholes can provide additional information. This paper is presenting review on paleostress analysis using core inspection data. Various aspects of the subject including kinematic data acquisition, core orientation, sampling bias, data processing, paleostress analysis and recent stress estimation are being outlined. The method is being demonstrated using case story based on borehole situated in Tisá Granite Massif, Czech Republic.
