ABSTRACT A trace-slip fault is one on which direction of movement is parallel with the trace of planar elements on the fault plane. It is characterized by lack of the usual stratigraphic criteria of faulting. Several cases of trace-slip faults encountered in the field are presented.

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.

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 ...

Fault slip envelope: A new parametric investigation tool for fault system strength and slip
2020<p>The fact that inherited fault systems show strong variability in their 3D shape provides good reasons to consider the strength of the Earth&#8217;s brittle crust as variably anisotropic. In this work we quantify this strength anisotropy as a function of fault system complexity by combining 3D boundary element model ...

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.

Slip-weakening instability on a strike-slip fault with asperity
Acta Seismologica Sinica, 1988In this paper, we studied the slip-weakening instability on a finite and vertical strike-slip fault with asperity. We assumed that the fault strength is uniform in depth, but it is non-uniform in the strike direction, i.e., there is an asperity on the fault.

Journal of Structural Geology, 2003
We present a set of relationships to determine the component of slip and separations generated by the cleavage-controlled volume contraction in strike-slip fault zones. The fault walls can translate toward each other along the (cleavage-normal) axis of maximum shortening as rock is dissolved by pressure solution along patterned cleavage surfaces within

Mechanics and interpretations of fault slip
2006Profiles of fault slip reflect the redistribution of strain energy associated with faulting. Real slip profiles typically are irregular and commonly are drawn as piece-wise linear, although the data permit other interpretations. In a linear elastic body, stress singularities would occur at the ends of profile segments along which slip varies linearly ...

The Mechanics of Oblique Slip Faulting
Geological Magazine, 1959Summary The various mechanisms which could cause oblique slip faulting are briefly reviewed. It is thought that such faulting may frequently arise from the existence of preferred planes of fracture within the rocks. The dynamics of this mechanism is studied in some detail and an expression is obtained for the first direction of slip ...
