The statistical Study of Jointsarround 16 Tishreen lake dame region in ALKabir
ALShimali river basin showed the presence of several main groups of Joints with
directions NE-SW _ NNE-SSW, NW-SE, E-W.
- Group NE-SW: showed correspond to with the fau
lt structures of same directions
which are normal and reversal faults and distributing geographically 1n Lattakia Kallas
fault zone. Also it showes correspond to with the axis of folds of same direction, thus
explained as longitudinal joints within these folds
- Group NW-SE: showed correspond to with faults structures of same direction.
which are left and right lateral strike slip faults, Spread over the entire study area. and it
may(diagonal)shear group within the folds of NE-SW axes.
- Group E-W:correspond to with normal faults structures.
Study of the general characteristics of Fractures in the central part of
the AL-Kabir AL- Shimali river basin showed the presence of
several main groups of Fractures with directions NE-SW _ NNESSW,
NW-SE , E-W.and showed increased fracture rate in
the
northern and southern parts of the study area, and that the spacing
between the Fractures close to the medium convergence (5-34) cm ,
also show a aperture ranged between (0.1-5.1) cm, where aperture
width was increased in southwest of Lake 16 October near Lattakia-
Kless fault .
