Strike-Slip Faults of Northern Venezuela
AAPG Bulletin, 1956The Caribbean Mountains of northern Venezuela, and the area covered by the Caribbean Sea off the coast of Venezuela have been displaced to the east, relative to the land on the south, along a system of major strike-slip faults. From west to east this right-lateral fracture system consists of the following big faults: the Ocoa fault in the northern ...

A Mechanical Model for Deformation and Earthquakes on Strike-Slip Faults
pure and applied geophysics, 1986A two-dimensional model for stress accumulation and earthquake instability associated with strike-slip faults is considered. The model consists of an elastic lithosphere overlying a viscous asthenosphere, and a fault of finite width with an upper brittle zone having an elastoplastic response and a lower ductile zone having an elastoviscoplastic ...

Segmentation along Strike-Slip Faults Revisited
Pure and Applied Geophysics, 2009Fault segmentation and fault steps and their evolution are relevant to the dynamics and size of earthquake ruptures, the distribution of fault damage zones and the capacity of fault seal. Furthermore, segment interactions and coalescence are the fundamental processes for fault growth.

Mechanics of strike-slip faulting with friction
Journal of Geophysical Research, 1968Strike-slip is analyzed for long, shallow surface faults of arbitrary dip on which motion is opposed by a frictional shear stress, which is assumed to increase linearly with depth. Static elastic analysis is used to find surface displacements and strains and to estimate the change in elastic potential energy, the frictional dissipation, and the ...

Off-fault Deformation Associated with Strike-slip Faults
Environmental and Engineering Geoscience, 2018AbstractHabitable buildings can be protected from surface fault rupture by establishing structure “setback zones” similar in purpose to legally mandated zones in California and Utah. But post-earthquake surveys of offset and warped linear cultural features, believed to have been straight prior to the event, demonstrate that potentially damaging ...

Formation and Suppression of Strike–Slip Fault Systems
Pure and Applied Geophysics, 2014Strike–slip faults are a defining feature of plate tectonics, yet many aspects of their development and evolution remain unresolved. For intact materials and/or regions, a standard sequence of shear development is predicted from physical models and field studies, commencing with the formation of Riedel shears and culminating with the development of a ...

Identification of strike‐slip faults in seismic sections
SEG Technical Program Expanded Abstracts 1987, 1987Transcurrent tectonism has been extensively reviewed in the literature during the last three decades, and its structural style in horizontal sections is well known. The increasingly large amount of seismic data available in the sedimentary basins all over the world has shown that transcurrent faults have very well defined characteristics in vertical ...
