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 ...

Summary The identification and interpretation of buried strike-slip fault have important guiding significance for oil and gas exploration. Therefore, taking the buried strike-slip fault in Bohai Bay Basin as the research object, through regional analogy, causes analysis of structural phenomena and study of plane and sections characteristics, it is ...

Dating of the Karakorum Strike‐slip Fault
Acta Geologica Sinica - English Edition, 2001AbstractThis paper mainly discusses the timing of the Karakorum strike‐slip fault, and gives a brief introduction of its structures, offset, and deformational style. This fault strikes NNW‐SSE. Asymmetrical folds, stretching lineation, S‐C fabrics, feldspar and quartz s̀‐porphyroclasts, domino structure, shear cleavages and faults in the fault zone are

Geological Society of America Bulletin, 1988
The importance of strike-slip faulting was recognized near the turn of the century, chiefly from investigations of surficial offsets associated with major earthquakes in New Zealand, Japan, and California. Extrapolation from observed horizontal displacements during single earthquakes to more abstract concepts of long-term, slow accumulation of hundreds

Radiation from a strike-slip fault
Bulletin of the Seismological Society of America, 1959abstract Huygens' principle for elastodynamics has been applied to the problem of the radiation resulting from the introduction of a tear fault of finite length into an otherwise homogeneous medium. The fault has the following properties: (1) it is a surface across which the normal stresses vanish; (2) it has a rectangular shape with one

Volcanism in Reverse and Strike-Slip Fault Settings
2009Traditionally volcanism is thought to require an extensional state of stress in the crust. This review examines recent relevant data demonstrating that volcanism occurs also in compressional tectonic settings associated with reverse and strike-slip faulting.

Climatic influence on the expression of strike-slip faulting
Geology, 2022Abstract Earthquakes on strike-slip faults are preserved in the geomorphic record by offset land-forms that span a range of displacements, from small offsets created in the most recent earthquake (MRE) to large offsets that record cumulative slip from multiple prior events.

Dynamics of fault interaction: parallel strike-slip faults
International Journal of Rock Mechanics and Mining Sciences & Geomechanics Abstracts, 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.

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.

Analysis of the dynamics of strike slip faulting
Journal of Geophysical Research, 1973Strike slip generated by wave motions and wave motions generated by strike slip are analyzed for vertical surface faults on which motion is opposed by a frictional shear stress, which is assumed to increase linearly with depth. The fault is a plane of discontinuity in a homogeneous, isotropic, linearly elastic half-space. The half-space is subjected to
