A study of the influence of the crossing-slope fault geometry on the slope seismic response
Shuiwen dizhi gongcheng dizhi, 2023 Compared with the landslides in the general gravity environment, the earthquake-induced landslides are significantly different in formation mechanisms and kinetic characteristics.

Scientific Reports, 2022 The 2010 M W 7.2 El Mayor-Cucapah, Mexico, earthquake ruptured multiple faults with different faulting mechanisms. Resolving the earthquake rupture process and its relation to the geometric fault complexities is critical to our understanding of the ...

Quantifying Natural Fault Geometry: Statistics of Splay Fault Angles [PDF]
Bulletin of the Seismological Society of America, 2009 Abstract We propose a new approach to quantifying fault system geometry, using an objective fit of the fault geometry to a test function, specifically here a fault branch. Fitting a Y-shaped object using a cost function to dextral faults in California, we find a number of significant results arising from use of a a systematic, objective, quantitative ...

Journal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, 2020 The 2013 Mw 7.7 Balochistan earthquake ruptured the Hoshab fault (Pakistan) over 200 km. It was dominated by left‐lateral slip, with a secondary reverse component.

Fault slip envelope: a new parametric investigation tool for fault slip based on geomechanics and 3-D fault geometry [PDF]
Solid Earth, 2019 By combining a 3-D boundary element model, frictional slip theory, and fast computation method, we propose a new tool to improve fault slip analysis that allows the user to analyze a very large number of scenarios of stress and fault mechanical property ...

Major California faults are smooth across multiple scales at seismogenic depth
Seismica, 2023 Surface traces of earthquake faults are complex and segmented on multiple scales. At seismogenic depth the detailed geometry of faults and earthquake rupture is mainly constrained by earthquake locations.

Geomatics, Natural Hazards & Risk, 2020 The moderate-size 2010 Yushu earthquake (Mw 6.9) caused severe seismic damage around the source region which is situated on the sparsely populated hinterland of the Tibetan Plateau. But until now the mechanisms have not been well understood. To this end,

Remote Sensing, 2018 Seismogenic fault geometry, especially for a blind fault, is usually difficult to derive, based only on the distribution of aftershocks and interference fringes of Interferometric Synthetic Aperture Radar (InSAR).
