Fractal-geometry techniques are widely applied to the quantification of complex rock
structures. Important properties of such structures are (i) different scaling behaviour on …

Blasting in rocks typically causes the remaining rock mass to be subjected to varying
degrees of damage and failure, leading to a decline in the mechanical properties and …

This is the first detailed report and analyses of deformation from the W part of the Deccan
large igneous province (DLIP), Maharashtra, India. This deformation, related to the India …

Fractures in a network are commonly divided into “sets” to facilitate their description and
analysis. Sets can be based on many different criteria that include the type, geometry, size …

Transpression occurs in response to oblique convergence across a deformation zone in
intraplate regions and plate boundaries. The Korean Peninsula is located at an intraplate …

This paper studies the statistics and tectonism of a multiscale natural fracture system in
limestone. The fracture network exhibits a self‐similar characteristic with a correlation …

In order to quantitatively study the impact of faults on shale gas productivity, taking
Changning area in the south of Sichuan Basin as an example, this study analyzes the …

The integration of information extracted from the System Pour l'Observation de la Terre
(SPOT) and the Advanced Spaceborne Thermal Emission and Reflection Radiometer …

Tectonic fractures can effectively improve the seepage capacity of rock mass and are the
main channels for underground fluid migration. The rupture of Xujiahe Formation rock mass …

Fractured aquifers, especially dolomites, are important hydrocarbon reservoirs and sources
of thermal and groundwater in many parts of the world, especially in the Alpine-Dinaric …
