Fault Displacement Hazard for Strike-Slip Faults
Bulletin of the Seismological Society of America, 2011In this paper we present a methodology, data, and regression equations for calculating the fault rupture hazard at sites near steeply dipping, strike-slip faults. We collected and digitized on-fault and off-fault displacement data for 9 global strike- slip earthquakes ranging from moment magnitude M 6.5 to M 7.6 and supplemented these with ...

Earthquake slip on oceanic transform faults
Nature, 2001Oceanic transform faults are one of the main types of plate boundary, but the manner in which they slip remains poorly understood. Early studies suggested that relatively slow earthquake rupture might be common; moreover, it has been reported that very slow slip precedes some oceanic transform earthquakes, including the 1994 Romanche earthquake.

Dynamics of fault interaction: parallel strike‐slip faults
Journal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, 1993We use a two‐dimensional finite difference computer program to study the effect of fault steps on dynamic ruptures. Our results indicate that a strike‐slip earthquake is unlikely to jump a fault step wider than 5 km, in correlation with field observations of moderate to great‐sized earthquakes.

article i nfo Understanding earthquake (EQ) recurrence relies on information about the timing and size of past EQ ruptures along a given fault. Knowledge of a fault's rupture history provides valuable information on its potential future behavior, enabling seismic hazard estimates and loss mitigation. Stratigraphic and geomorphic evidence of faulting is

Stress orientation responsible for formation of strike slip fault is described along with rheological controls on development of the fault. Conjugate strike slip faults are discussed with special reference to necessity of rotation of faults with progressive deformation.

Off-fault Deformation Associated with Strike-slip Faults
Environmental and Engineering Geoscience, 2018AbstractHabitable buildings can be protected from surface fault rupture by establishing structure “setback zones” similar in purpose to legally mandated zones in California and Utah. But post-earthquake surveys of offset and warped linear cultural features, believed to have been straight prior to the event, demonstrate that potentially damaging ...

Beware of slowly slipping faults
Nature Geoscience, 2013The fault zone that hosted the devastating Wenchuan earthquake in 2008 had been assigned a moderate-to-low seismic hazard rating, because it slips slowly. In hindsight, it seems that this type of fault is not necessarily innocuous.
