Modern tectonic stress field deeply in Xuzhou Coal Mine

  • Published:
Journal of Coal Science and Engineering (China)

Abstract

By inverting fault slip data, the parameters of 12 tectonic stress tensors in the mine region can be determined. The following characteristics can be obtained for recent tectonic stress fields, which are found deep in the study region. The results show that the recent tectonic stress field mainly presents the characteristics of near NWW-SSE maximum compressional stress and near NE-SW minimum extensional stress, while the stress regimes are mainly of strike slip, part of the reverse-fault type. Recent tectonic stress field in the region is characterized by horizontal components. The maximum principal compression stress direction was from NEE to SEE, the average principal compression stress direction was near NWW-SSE maximum compressional stress and near NE-SW minimum extensional. The recent tectonic stress field of the studied area can be controlled by a large tectonic stress area.
