An approach to development of an information geomechanical structural model of the Kuznetsk coal basin

Abstract

The geographic information system designed at the Institute of Coal and Coal Chemistry for the Kuznetsk Coal Basin and the non-linear geomechanics researches undertaken at the Institute of Mining has served the basis for analyzing the hierarchical structure of geological faults in the Anzherskiy economic district (Kemerovo Region). The analysis is performed by a new canonical scale for structural-hierarchical representations with base \(\sqrt 2 (A v log_{\sqrt 2 } A \leftrightarrow x v log_{\sqrt 2 } x;A = f(x))\), where A and x are the normalized functionally related values). The recommendations are given on how to utilize the geoinformation system of the Kuznetsk Coal Basin in order to obtain a graphical-analytical representation and a system analysis of experimental geomechanical data.
