Weathering resistance of carbonate fault mirrors promotes rupture localization

Self-Checking Fault Detection using Discrepancy Mirrors

A method for robust detection of faults is developed based on pairwise parallel evaluation using Discrepancy Mirror logic. Discrepancy Mirrors provide coverage for the fault detector elements within the same mechanism used for the functional logic under test. The detector logic is self-testing and propagates functional outputs with adherence to a single fault-secure property so that erroneous o...

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...

feasibility study of fault rupture deviation by slurry wall

during past earthquakes, many instances of building damage as a result of earthquake surface fault rupture have been observed. the results of investigating a potential mitigation scheme are presented in this paper. such plan provides a wall in the soil with the aim of surface displacement localization in the narrow pre-determined location. this may reduce the risk of the future rupture downstre...

Flow-Sensitive Fault Localization

Identifying the cause of an error is often the most timeconsuming part in program debugging. Fault localization techniques can help to automate this task. Particularly promising are static proof-based techniques that rely on an encoding of error traces into trace formulas. By identifying irrelevant portions of the trace formula, the possible causes of the error can be isolated. One limitation o...
