Development regularity and control measures of ground fissures in Taiyuan basin

Taiyuan basin is a area that ground fissures frequently take place in Shanxi province, the ground fissures have damaged the industry and agriculture production and given rise to largely lose for the citizen and affected economical development. So, to grasp the development regularity of ground fissures and the formation mechanism become very necessary. According to the basic characteristics of geological environment in Taiyuan basin, the article analyzed the temporal and spatial distribution of ground fissures. On the basis of the temporal and spatial distribution of ground fissures, combined with the main influence factors, the ground fissures are divided into four basic types. Then, the paper analyzed the formation mechanism of the ground fissures of the four types, and thus proposed corresponding prevention and control measures. Research results would provide basis for the improvement of local environmental conditions and the control of geological disasters.
