The invention belongs to the technical field of sand box physical
simulation, and discloses a multi-stage tectonic activity superposed co-sedimentary sand box physical
simulation method and device, and the method comprises the steps: building a model based on stratum
lithology, actual geologic features and a basin prototype, and the model comprises a stratum
simulation layer, a slip structure simulation layer and a substrate; utilizing the model to simulate a basin evolution process and performing monitoring; and analyzing and
processing the monitored data. According to the method, the whole simulation process is divided into a plurality of construction periods based on the geological evolution background of a research area, an experiment scheme is designed, experiment materials are selected, and corresponding stratum simulation
layers are laid according to stratum and construction characteristics of different stages, so that compared with a traditional method, the method is more in line with the actual geological law; according to the method, the multi-stage
tectonic stress effect and co-deposition effect superposed basin evolution process can be well simulated, the fracture development process can be accurately simulated, the tectonic evolution mode of the superposed basin can be verified, and a reliable basis is provided for subsequent basin exploration, development and research.
