Dynamics of fault interaction: parallel strike-slip faults

International Journal of Rock Mechanics and Mining Sciences & Geomechanics Abstracts, 1993
We 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.

Fault Displacement Hazard for Strike-Slip Faults

Bulletin of the Seismological Society of America, 2011
In 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 ...

Segmentation along Strike-Slip Faults Revisited

Pure and Applied Geophysics, 2009
Fault 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.

Strike-slip faults

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, 1959
abstract 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

Surface slip variability on strike‐slip faults

Earth Surface Processes and Landforms, 2022
AbstractSlip in strike‐slip earthquakes is spatially variable along a fault, but the degree to which variability over short length scales is inherent to the rupture process or introduced by interpretation and measurement has not been quantified. In this study, we examine the effects of interpretation error on apparent short‐wavelength variability in ...
