The structural characteristics of Panji anticline and tectonic stress field in Panji coal mine were studied and the Panji mining area was divided into 9 main interlayer-gliding areas and 29 sub-regions by analyzing the thin seam zones, tectonic coal, and modes of lithologic association, the features and types of the interlayer-gliding structures. The results indicate that the direction of the interlayer-gliding structures are closely related to the direction of the principal stress is toward north and the local stress field formed by the large-scale fault structures. The EW trending thin seam zones and the II, III type tectonic coal were caused by the interlayer-gliding. It is easier for rock slip to occur when the lithologic associations are main roof + coal seam + immediate floor type, compound rooff immediate roof + coal seam + immediate floor type and immediate roof + coal seam + immediate floor type. The interlayer-gliding structures mainly developed in the anticline wings, which have obvious symmetry at the type and distribution. The types of the interlayer-gliding structures are fault-sliding and corrugation type in the wings and fracture type in the core area of the anticline. The type and manifestation of the interlayer-gliding structures also have the symmetry in the similar depth. From up to down, the interlayer-gliding type have obvious regularity that fracture type is mainly developed in the relatively shallow area, down is fault-sliding type and corrugation type is mainly developed in the deep or th- interchange of the faults.
