The paper examines the behaviour of buried continuous pipelines crossing strike-slip faults using experimental and numerical modelling. A newly developed experiment setup is presented along with derivation relevant scaling laws non-dimensional terms governing global response to faulting. Four model tests are carried out understand performance results through derived framework. Three-dimensional...

Metamorphic and various intrusive rocks in the Urmia area are located in a transpressed active continental margin. These complexes in the Zagros orogen were deformed during an oblique convergence scenario between the Arabian and Sanandaj–Sirjan blocks in NW Iran. The Urmia area contains both NW-SE striking dextral strike-slip and SW verging NE dipping ductile reverse shear fabrics. Ductile shea...

We present a study of the brittle tectonics Tunas Alkaline Complex focusing on kinematic and geometric analysis faults shear zones deforming complex. The data acquired respective interpretations sought to contribute post-Cretaceous tectonic structural models southern Brazil. ~83 Ma-old alkaline complex is made up syenites, alkali plutonic volcanic breccias, as well trachyte, microsyenite, bosto...

We extend a technique previously used to model surface displacements resulting from thrust faulting in an elastic-gravitational l yer over a viscoelastic-gravitational h f-space to the case of strike-slip faulting. The method involves the calculation of the Green's functions for a strike-slip point source contained in an elastic-gravitational layer over a viscoelastic-gravitational half-space. ...

The 2021 Mw 7.3 Maduo earthquake revealed the significant seismic hazard of faults developed within Bayan Har Block eastern Tibet, China (e.g., Kunlun Pass–Jiangcuo Fault). Relocated aftershock data are in good agreement with Interferometric Synthetic Aperture Radar (InSAR) coseismic displacement field and investigations. In this study, we used point cloud fitting to model relocated aftershocks...
