Fault damage zones

open access: yesJournal of Structural Geology, 2004
Abstract Damage zones show very similar geometries across a wide range of scales and fault types, including strike-slip, normal and thrust faults. We use a geometric classification of damage zones into tip-, wall-, and linking-damage zones, based on their location around faults. These classes can be sub-divided in terms of fault and fracture patterns

The spectrum of fault slip in elastoplastic fault zones

open access: yesEarth 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-

Petrological Evolution and Mass Redistribution in Basaltic Fault Zones: An Example From the Faroe Islands, North Atlantic Igneous Province

open access: yesGeochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, 2023
Fault rock petrology exerts an important influence on the permeability structure and mechanical properties of fault zones. Slip‐related deformation on upper‐crustal faults in basaltic rocks is closely associated with fluid‐rock interaction, altering the ...

Variation of Deformation Conditions of Zagros Suture Zone between Baneh and Shahrekord Areas, Iran [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Sciences, Islamic Republic of Iran, 2023
Suture zones within continental collision zones generally considered as deep-seated thick-skinned thrusts/shear zones rotted in lower crust. Main Zagros Revers Fault (MZRF) is the suture zone for continental collision between the Afro-Arabia and Eurassia

Geophysical characteristics of a fault system in the northern Central Range of Taiwan and its applications for geothermal energy exploration

open access: yesGeothermal Energy, 2023
The northern Central Range of Taiwan is a high-potential geothermal region. Since the formations are mainly tight metasandstone and slate, permeable structures associated with faults are commonly considered as conduits of geothermal fluids.

Fine characterization of Ordovician inner fault-controlled bodies in area A of Tarim Basin

open access: yesYouqi dizhi yu caishoulu, 2023
It is a major difficulty to accurately characterize the inner fault-controlled bodies in the exploration and development of fault-controlled oil and gas reservoirs because the fault-controlled bodies are diverse in reservoir space, complicated in ...

Heat flow, thermal anomalies, tectonic regimes and high-temperature geothermal systems in fault zones

open access: yesComptes Rendus. Géoscience, 2023
The potential of high-temperature $({>}150~\text{°}\mathrm{C})$ geothermal systems in crustal fault zones (fault cores and hundreds of meters wide networks of interconnected fractures in the damage zone) is underestimated.

Study of Mechanical Response of Tunnels Crossing Active Faults in Different Burial Depths

open access: yesBuildings, 2023
There are numerous tunnels worldwide that cross active fault zones. These tunnels are situated in complex geological environments and are subjected to intense seismic activities. When active fault zones experience displacement, tunnels are susceptible to

Identification and evaluation of fault-fracture reservoirs in buried hills of the Lower Paleozoic, Chengdao area, China

open access: yesEnergy Geoscience, 2023
The Bohai Bay Basin is a Meso-Cenozoic rifted basin where the Paleozoic buried hills with great hydrocarbon potentials are well developed. The reservoir space types are complex and diverse due to tectonic activities, making fracture distribution highly ...
