INTRODUCTION
Fabric is the mutual arrangement and orientation
TYPES OF FABRIC
BASED ON ORIENTATION OF FABRIC ELEMENTS
1.ISOTROPIC=Orientation of fabric elements is random.
spherical no preferred
fabric will be discernable.
A-axes transverse to
a(t)b(i) .
A-axes parallel to flow
with a-axes imbricate.
a(p)a(i)
C axes
Of quartz grains
MEASUREMENT OF FABRIC
The orientation of a fabric element, may be described in terms of two
angles.
STRIKE/AZIMUTH=Angle between some axis of the pebble and median.
INCLINATION=Angle between axis in question and the horizontal.
A diagram that shows both the azimuth and the inclination of
the long axis of a fabric element is known as petrofabric diagram.
POROSITY

PERMEABILITY
POROSITY
The porosity of rock is its property of
Absolute porosity
39 to 41
2.Medium sand
41 to 48
50 to 54
Fine sand
44 to 49
b.
c.Sorting :The better sorted the sediment the greater the porosity
porosity seems to be a
function of depth of burial,
according to the expression
P=p[e x e x e..y times]
Where p=average porosity of
surface clays.
y=a x d
a=constant
Importance of porosity
Especially it allows us to make estimations of the
Effective porosity is a
measure of permeability of a
rock.
PERMEABILITY
Permeability is the property of a rock which allows the
of diameter
a rock. of the pathways through which the
1. The
fluid
moves. of the path ways . (tortuosity)
2.
Complexity
Along the walls of the pathway the velocity is zero (a no
slip boundary) and increases away from the boundaries,
reaching a maximum towards the middle to the
pathway.

3.GRAIN SIZE
Unlike porosity, permeability increases with grain size.
A ten-fold increase in
grain size yields a
hundred-fold increase
in permeability.
4.SORTING
5.DEPTH OF BURIAL
Like porosity, permeability is changed following burial of a
sediment.
In this
example
permeability
is reduced by
two orders of
magnitude
with 3 km of
burial.
