What are Fractures ?
Fractures (from the Latin fractus, which
means “broken” are surfaces along which
rocks or minerals have brocken

“ “
FracturesFractures are surfaces along which rocks or are surfaces along which rocks or minerals have broken; they are therefore surfaces minerals have broken; they are therefore surfaces
across which the material has lost cohesion across which the material has lost cohesion ” ”
Fractures have two parallel surfaces that meet at the fracture front these surfaces are
approximately planar
The relative displacement of originally adjacent points across the fractures is small compared to
the fracture length..

FRACTURE ANALYSIS
Study of joints in an area will give information about the sequence and timing of formation.
It will also provide information on:- 1- The timing & geometry of the brittle
deformation of the crust and
2- The way fractures propagate through the
rocks.

Extensional Fracture
In extensional fractures the Fracture plane is oriented parallel to σ1 and σ 2 and perpendicular to σ 3.
Three types of fractures have been identified:
| Mode I
fractures (joints) it is the extensional fractures and formed by opening with no
displacement parallel to the fracture surface (Fig. A).
| Mode II
and Mode III are shear fractures. These are faults like fractures one of them is strike -slip and the other is dip-slip
Same fracture can exhibit both mode II and mode III in
different parts of the region.
Shear fractures
Tension fractures
