煤炭地质勘查的研究对象、勘探方法、数据资料在空间上都是三维的,适合于采用三维地质建模技术进行管理。根据三维地质建模与煤炭地质勘查是否同时,可将煤炭地质勘探三维地质建模分为两类,一类为勘探工作中,主要以钻孔数据为主,用于制作三维地质模型的原型,生成煤层底板等高线、剖面图草图,供地质工程师进一步加工,构建精细的三维地质模型;另一类为勘探工作后,即以已经做好的煤层底板等高线图、剖面图为主要数据源,构建精细的三维地质模型。精细的三维地质模型可用于煤矿设计、数字矿山建设。三维地质建模技术的应用有利于煤炭地质构造的研究,主要表现在:第一,可对地面、钻探、物探、化探多种手段获得的探测资料进行集成与同化处理,提高信息空间的一致性;第二,地质构造要素表达具有直观性与三维立体性,如断层的表达,其在三维环境中不仅可表达为一个面,并且能清晰反映断层与地层、以及断层与断层之间的相互切割关系,弥补了平、剖面图上仅表现为一条断层线的不足;第三,可平、剖面三维联动编辑,很好地保证平面图与剖面图的空间一致性;第四,可以在剖面上以画草图的方式确定剖面上煤层对比与断层切割方案。
Subjects investigated, exploration methods and data of coal geological exploration are spatially three dimensional, propitious to manage through 3D geological modeling techniques. According to if the 3D geological modeling and coal geological exploration at a time, can divide coal geological exploration 3D geological modeling into two categories:one is in exploration, mainly depends on drill-ing data, used to construct 3D geological model prototype, generate coal floor contour maps, section sketches provide to geologist for fur-ther processing, construct fine 3D geological model;another is after exploration engineering completed, taking the prepped coal floor contour maps, sections as the main data sources construct fine 3D geological model. The fine 3D geological model can be used in coalmine design, digital mine construction. The application of 3D modeling techniques is propitious to coal geological structural re-search, mainly reflected in following aspects:the first, can carry out
