Equal spacing of strike-slip faults [PDF]
International Journal of Rock Mechanics and Mining Sciences & Geomechanics Abstracts, 1976 Summary Strike-slip fault systems on continents frequently occur in groups of several roughly equally-spaced faults. In this article these systems are simulated by a model. A physical mechanism is then presented, which appears to explain the phenomena shown by the model both qualitatively and to a certain extent quantitatively.

Major Strike-Slip Faults Identified Using Satellite Data in Central Borneo, SE Asia
Geosciences, 2018 We use freely available Google satellite data, instrumental seismicity, fault plane solutions, and previously mapped structural and geological maps to identify new fault zones in central Borneo.

Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2021 Knowledge from historical earthquake events indicates that a submarine tunnel crossing active strike-slip faults is prone to be damaged in an earthquake. Previous studies have demonstrated that the flexible joints are an effective measure for a submarine

Tectonic Implication of the 5th March 2005, Doublet Earthquake in Ilan, Taiwan
Terrestrial, Atmospheric and Oceanic Sciences, 2016 The 5th March 2005 earthquake doublet focal mechanism was determined as strike-slip faulting from Harvard and BATS moment tensor inversion. However, based on first motion polarities, the first shock has a normal focal mechanism (Wu et al. 2008a).

The El Tocuyo, Venezuela, earthquake of 3 August, 1950: Focal parameters and tectonic implications [PDF]
Geofísica Internacional, 2001 The El Tocuyo earthquake of 1950 event was associated with the Boconó fault system. The Ms magnitude was 6.3; the focal depth was ( from pP – P and sP – P) 18 ± 1 Km.

Volcano instability induced by strike-slip faulting
Bulletin 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.
