Relationship between fracture spacing and bed thickness in sedimentary rocks: Approach by means of Michaelis–Menten equation

Fractures occur in nearly all rocks at the Earth's surface and exert essential control on the mechanical strengths of rock masses and permeability. The fractures strongly impact the stability of geological or man-made structures and flow of water and hydrocarbons, CO2 and storing waste. For thi...
