Vertical profiles of total stress (MPa). σ h and σ v are the horizontal and vertical total stress in the plane of the model (i.e. σ xx and σ yy , respectively), σ hv is the associated shear stress (i.e. σ xy ), σ h ⊥ is the horizontal total stress perpendicular to the plane of the model (σ zz ), and σ p is the hydraulic stress. The lithostatic stress σlitho is calculated via the formula σlitho=r0g z, r0 being the total homogenized initial density.
