Simple geometric assumptions for dikes and faults are often used interpreting the parameters of these structures from magnetic anomalies. The anomaly a 2D dike or vertical fault consists two components; one with even other odd symmetries. function resulting ratio components is independent amplitude coefficient. abscissa half-maximum component maximum related to its depth half-width. Incorporati...

Moses Rock dike is a Tertiary diatreme containing serpentinized ultramafic microbreccia (SUM) located on the Colorado Plateau in Utah. Field evidence indicates that SUM was emplaced first followed by breccias derived from the Permian strata exposed in the walls of the diatreme and finally by complex breccias containing basement and mantle-derived rocks. SUM is primarily found dispersed througho...

A methodology is presented for determining the probability of dikes failing due to uplifting and piping using directional sampling. The study concerns one dike section in the lower river area of The Netherlands. For this dike section, the three most important random quantities are: the North-Sea water level, the river Rhine discharge, and the critical head in the event of uplifting and piping. ...

As continental rifts evolve towards mid-ocean ridges, strain is accommodated by repeated episodes of faulting and magmatism. Discrete rifting episodes have been observed along two subaerial divergent plate boundaries, the Krafla segment of the Northern Volcanic Rift Zone in Iceland and the Manda-Hararo segment of the Red Sea Rift in Ethiopia. In both cases, the initial and largest dike intrusio...

Many regions in the world are protected against flooding by a dike, which may be either natural or artificial. We deal with a model for finding the optimal heights of such a dike in the future. It minimizes the sum of the investments costs for upgrading the dike in the future and the expected costs due to flooding. The model is highly nonlinear, nonconvex, and infinite-dimensional. Despite this...

This paper describes the DiKe model-based diagnosis framework, which incorporates multiple diagnosis engines, multiple user-level system description languages, a theorem prover, and a graphical user interface to provide an integrated toolset for the development of model-based diagnosis applications. The framework has been used for representing a number of application domains. We present the AD2...

A computer program in FORTRAN language is written to interpret the source parameters for the magnetic anomalies over tabular bodies. Sheet, dike and vertical step models are used in this program. The program is written for the magnetic interpretation method published in Exploration Geophysics, (2009). The method is based on the characteristic positions of the magnetic anomaly profile for determ...
