Buildings, 2023 Tunnels built in geologically active areas are prone to severe damage due to fault dislocation and subsequent earthquakes. Using the Ngong tunnel in the East African Rift Valley as an example, the dynamic response of a fault-crossing tunnel and the ...

The Spectrum of Fault Slip in Elastoplastic Fault Zones
Earth and Planetary Science Letters, 2023 Natural faults are typically surrounded by damage zones that exhibit inelastic material response. This study investigates the role of fault zone strength in modulating the spectrum of fault slip across different spatio-temporal scales. We carry out long-term simulations of seismic and aseismic slip for an elastoplastic spring slider model with rate-and-

Earth and Space Science, 2021 We use UAVSAR interferograms to characterize fault slip, triggered by the Mw 7.2 El Mayor‐Cucapah earthquake on the 1 San Andreas Fault in the Coachella Valley providing comprehensive maps of short‐term geodetic surface deformation that complement in ...

The slow slip of viscous faults [PDF]
Journal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, 2018 AbstractWe examine a simple mechanism for the spatiotemporal evolution of transient, slow slip. We consider the problem of slip on a fault that lies within an elastic continuum and whose strength is proportional to sliding rate. This rate dependence may correspond to a viscously deforming shear zone or the linearization of a nonlinear, rate‐dependent ...

Heterogeneous Slip Distribution Self-Similarity on a Fault Surface
Terrestrial, Atmospheric and Oceanic Sciences, 2016 The earthquake slip distribution self-similarity is investigated in this study. We complied finite fault slip models for earthquakes in the Taiwan orogenic belt and global earthquakes to determine the slip distribution self-similarity.

Communications Earth & Environment, 2023 Nearby faults interact through stress changes induced by fault slip and viscoelastic flow. The process is, however, often elusive and can be geometry-dependent and time-variant.

Experimental investigation on fluid-induced slip behavior of fault filled with fault gouge
Journal of Rock Mechanics and Geotechnical EngineeringFault zones are usually filled with fault gouge and accompanied by fault water. The coupled effect of fault gouge and water significantly impacts the slip behavior of the fault, which may weaken the fault structure and further induce rupture propagation ...

Origin and growth mechanisms of strike-slip faults in the central Tarim cratonic basin, NW China
Petroleum Exploration and Development, 2021 Through fault structure analysis and chronology study, we discuss the origin and growth mechanisms of strike-slip faults in the Tarim Basin. (1) Multiple stages strike-slip faults with inherited growth were developed in the central Tarim cratonic basin ...

Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, 2021 We use high‐resolution lidar microtopographic data and luminescence dating to constrain incremental Holocene–latest Pleistocene slip rates for the Wairau fault, a major dextral strike‐slip fault in the Marlborough Fault System, South Island, New Zealand.
