Abstract:Through analysis on regional structural characteristics and geological statistics of mines in North Jining mining area, development patterns and distribution regularity of faults in this region have been systematically identified in this paper. It is found that faults are major structures with large scale and strength. Folds are wide and gentle with low intensity. There are two main groups of faults in the mining area. One is the fault with the trend of SN, which formed the boundary of well field, and the other is the fault with the trend of NE, which made mining geological condition complex. The folds with the trend of NE in this area developed well, and alternatively distributed as anticline and syncline.
