The first objective of this thesis is to contribute to the development of quantitative tools for an objective interpretation, based on mechanical equilibrium and material strength, of kink-folds and fault-related folds which are potential oil reservoirs. The second objective is to improve the prediction of fracture distributions in layered sequenceswhich control the permeability. Experiments and analytical results are presented on the onset, the development and the arrest of kink-folds and fault-propagation folds. The experiments, with a sequence of paraffin layers under compression, show the relation between the fracture distribution, the formation of damaged hinges and the development of kink-folds. The analytical results are obtained by ...
