Analysis of Location of Villages in Relation to Rupture Zone (Case Study: North Qazvin Fault)
This paper studies the shear zone of North Qazvin fault and investigates the location of rural settlements in this area. In selected sections, the presence of transverse valleys along the fault made it possible to investigate the evidence of shear zones in which we can see severe crushing in igneous rocks of andesitic and trachyandesitic type, and cataclastic. Moreover, traces of faulted and fr...
متن کاملMultiple-fault rupture of the M7.1 Hector Mine, California, earthquake from fault zone trapped waves
[1] We studied the complex multiple-faulting pattern of the 40-km-long rupture zone of the 1999 M7.1 Hector Mine, California, earthquake with fault zone trapped waves generated by near-surface explosions and aftershocks, and recorded by linear seismic arrays deployed across the surface rupture. The explosion excited trapped waves, with relatively large amplitudes at 3–5 Hz and a long duration o...
متن کاملStructural concepts for Soltanieh fault zone (NW Iran)
Active deformation in Alborz range is due to N-S convergence between Arabia and Eurasia. This paper provides geomorphic traces of regional deformation in NW Iran in order to characterize active faulting on major faults. Soltanieh and North Zanjan fault systems are involved in convergence boundary extent between South Caspian Basin and Central Iran. Soltanieh and North Zanjan faults are major re...
متن کاملConstitutive properties of clayey fault gouge from the Hanaore fault zone, southwest Japan
[1] Velocity step tests at a range of slip rates (0.0154–155.54 mm s ) are performed using natural fault gouge containing smectite, mica, and quartz collected from an outcrop of the Hanaore Fault, southwest Japan. Field and microscopic observations reveal that the shear deformation is localized to a few centimeters or thinner layer of black clayey fault gouge. This layer is formed by multiple s...
متن کاملFault zone strength and failure criteria
This paper discusses Coulomb failure criteria for brittle deformation of intact rock and fault gouge. Data are presented from laboratory experiments designed to identify the critical gouge layer thickness required to effect a transition from the standard Coulomb criterion to a modified failure law (referred to as Coulomb plasticity) appropriate for simple shear of a gouge layer. Experiments wer...
