Studying statistical characteristics of fracture systems in Akhlamad area (North West Binalood) using remote sensing based fracture map

Akhlamad Structural Fracture Map was drawn using remote sensing methods, based on local morphological and structural characteristics. In this paper detected fractures were classified to 6 main directions. Both the most fractures and the most variety of fracture sets were distributed in the eastern part of the zone. In the next part of the study, It was found that the number of each fracture set decreases exponentially by increasing the length values. Calculating Spacing values of each fracture set and comparing with the number of fractures showed similar the number of each set decreases exponentially by increasing the spacing values. Then other three parameters Intensity, Density and intersect were plotted on the area map via contour diagrams. The most frequencies of both factors Intensity and Density were constructed in the eastern, central and northern part of the zone; and the most frequency of intersect factor were constructed in the eastern part of the zone. Based on above results reliability of remote sensing techniques for detecting faults has been demonstrate.
