The invention discloses a method and device for simulating formation of reverse faults in a laboratory, and relates to the technical field of
coal mine geology. A structure principle of traditional fault
simulation experimental equipment is changed, a fault induction device is designed on the bottom of the interior of the equipment, and the role of inducing
crack initiation of the faults is playedunder the conditions of upper pressing and lateral pressing; the position of the induction device can be adjusted and changed at any time, and formation
process information of the simulated reverse faults with different inclination angles is obtained; the induction device is arranged on an elastic leather
cushion, and the elastic leather
cushion is connected with left and right compression steelplates into one whole, and the friction between a simulated formation material and a base is reduced in the process of lateral pressing. When the similar simulated formation material is laid,
stress sensors are laid at a certain distance, stress changes are recorded in real time, and a transmission action mechanism of the faults to mining-
induced stress is explained. The formation process of the reverse faults can be reproduced, the
stress redistribution characteristics of a fault area after mining is mastered, and the influence of the existence of the reverse faults on mining is reflected.
