Glossary of normal faults

open access: yesJournal of Structural Geology, 2000
Increased interest in normal faults and extended terranes has led to the development of an increasingly complex terminology. The most important terms are defined in this paper, with original references being given wherever possible, along with examples of current usage.

Quantitative Evaluation of the Lateral Sealing Ability of Normal Faults in Siliciclastic Sequences: Implication for Fault Trap in Well Gang 64, in the West Qikou Sag, China [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Petroleum Science and Technology, 2019
The lateral sealing ability of a normal fault is a major factor in creating hydrocarbon traps. Therefore, a methodology for assessing the sealing ability of faults in the siliciclastic sequences of subsidence basins has been established; moreover, by ...

Distributed control of a fault tolerant modular multilevel inverter for direct-drive wind turbine grid interfacing [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
Modular generator and converter topologies are being pursued for large offshore wind turbines to achieve fault tolerance and high reliability. A centralized controller presents a single critical point of failure which has prevented a truly modular and ...

Influence of discontinuous faults in the Jurassic part of the section on the structure of the Urna oil reservoir in the Vasyugan formation of Malyka field

open access: yesИзвестия высших учебных заведений: Нефть и газ, 2022
In the East Uvat district of the South of Tyumen region, five fields were discovered, in which the bulk of hydrocarbon potential is in deposits in upper Jurassic sediments (U1 reservoir of the Vasyugan formation).

Investigating seismogenic faults in Central and Southern Apennines (Italy): modeling of fault-related landscape features

open access: yesAnnals of Geophysics, 1996
The direct identification of seismogenic structures in Southern Italy is often a difficult task, since finding seismogenic faults with clear surface expression associated is unlikely, even if they are the source of large magnitude earthquakes. A possible

Interaction of piled foundation with a rupturing normal fault [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
Post-seismic observations in the 1999 Kocaeli earthquake in Turkey have indicated that piled foundations may be less suitable than stiff mat foundations in defending a structure against a major normal fault rupturing underneath.

Bridge-Pier Caisson foundations subjected to normal and thrust faulting:physical experiments versus numerical analysis [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Surface fault ruptures can inflict serious damage to engineering structures built on or near them. In the earthquakes of Kocaeli, Chi-chi, and Wenchuan a number of bridges were crossed by the emerging normal or thrust faults suffering various degrees of ...

On the growth of normal faults and the existence of flats and ramps along the El Asnam active fold and thrust system [PDF]

open access: yes, 1992
The combination of detailed topographic leveling on the southwest segment of the El Asnam thrust fault with existing seismic and geologic data implies that the geometry of this fault involves shallow dipping flats and steep ramps. The fault appears to be

Cosmic-ray-induced correlated errors in superconducting qubit array

open access: yesNature Communications
Correlated errors may devastate quantum error corrections that are necessary for the realization of fault-tolerant quantum computation. Recent experiments with superconducting qubits indicate that they can arise from quasiparticle (QP) bursts induced by ...

Tectonic control on southern Sierra Nevada topography, California [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
In this study we integrate the apatite (U-Th)/He thermochronometric technique with geomorphic, structural, and stratigraphic studies to pursue the origin and evolution of topographic relief related to extensive late Cenozoic faulting in the southern ...
