SOME EXPERIMENTAL RESULTS OF ANALYZING QUANTITATIVE CORRELATION OF FRACTURE FREQUENCY DISTRIBUTION: CASE STUDY IN QUANG NINH PROVINCE, VIET NAM
https://doi.org/10.5800/GT-2018-9-2-0361
Abstract
This paper presents the experimental results of analyzing the quantitative correlation of fracture distribu‐ tion at 10 survey sites on the Co To‐Thanh Lan islands, Quang Ninh province, Viet Nam. The obtained results show that most fracture correlation coefficients are over 0.80. The high correlation values among the survey sites reflect well the geodynamic conditions of the tectonic activity phases. These results confirm the significance of the correla‐ tion method in analyzing the structural geology and geotechnics.
