  • To explore the relationship between the formation of fractures and the deformation of strata, fractures data from outcrops in the Upper Jurassic strata of Lin'an are integrated with geometry modeling in this study. It is found that two main type fractures are secondary structures to the fold, which are referred to as fold accommodation fractures in this paper, and named as D and D' fractures respectively. An angle ranging 44°-80° exists between fractures and stratum layers, with D' fracture directing the motion of local layer and D fracture directing the motion of adjacent layer. The fractures formed primarily because of an increase in bed curvature within fold cores. The relationship between fracture density and layer thickness is established on the basis of geometrical analysis of the fold and we find that fractures density is proportional to the layer thickness.
