Estimation of displacements along strike-slip fault on a million-year timescale: A case study of the AltynTagh fault system

open access: yesDizhi lixue xuebao, 2021
Fault slip rate matters not only as one of the important parameters for quantitative study of Cenozoic tectonics but also a key element in geodynamic research.

Superficial simplicity of the 2010 El Mayor–Cucapah earthquake of Baja California in Mexico [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
The geometry of faults is usually thought to be more complicated at the surface than at depth and to control the initiation, propagation and arrest of seismic ruptures.

Role of two-stage strike slip faulting in the tectonic evolution of the Doseo depression in the central Africa rift system

open access: yesFrontiers in Earth Science, 2023
Doseo depression of Central African Rift System is an important onshore frontier area for oil and gas exploration in Africa, with rift development characterized by the dual control of fault-depression development and strike slip faulting.

Stochastic strike-slip fault as earthquake source model

open access: yesMathematics, 2023
It is known that the source of a tectonic earthquake in the framework of the theory of elasticity and viscoelasticity is considered as a displacement along a certain fault surface. Usually, when describing the source, the geometry of the fault surface is simplified to a flat rectangular area. The displacement vector is assumed to be constant.

Superimposed characteristics and genetic mechanism of strike-slip faults in the Bohai Sea, China

open access: yesPetroleum Exploration and Development, 2019
Based on the 3D seismic structure interpretation of Bohai Sea, combined with physical modeling of structure, structural style analysis and apatite fission track simulation, the structural characteristics and genetic mechanism of the Cenozoic strike-slip ...

Numerical Investigation on the Dynamic Response of Fault-Crossing Tunnels under Strike-Slip Fault Creep-Slip and Subsequent Seismic Shaking

open access: yesBuildings, 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 ...

Neotectonics of the Sumatran fault, Indonesia [PDF]

open access: yes, 2000
The 1900-km-long, trench-parallel Sumatran fault accommodates a significant amount of the right-lateral component of oblique convergence between the Eurasian and Indian/Australian plates from 10°N to 7°S.

Controls of strike-slip fault activities on hydrocarbon accumulation in Tahe Oilfield, Tarim Basin: a case study of TP 39 fault zone

open access: yesShiyou shiyan dizhi, 2022
Strike-slip faults were well-developed in the Tahe Oilfield, Tarim Basin, which had an important control to the accumulation and distribution of hydrocarbon.

Volcano instability induced by strike-slip faulting

open access: yesBulletin of Volcanology, 2000
Analogue sand cone experiments were conducted to study instability generated on volcanic cones by basal strike-slip movement. The results of the analogue models demonstrate that edifice instability may be generated when strike-slip faults underlying a volcano move as a result of tectonic adjustment.

Dynamic Rupture Modeling of the Transition from Thrust to Strike-Slip Motion in the 2002 Denali Fault Earthquake, Alaska [PDF]

open access: yes, 2004
We use three-dimensional dynamic (spontaneous) rupture models to investigate the nearly simultaneous ruptures of the Susitna Glacier thrust fault and the Denali strike-slip fault.
