Active flexural-slip faulting: A study from the Pamir-Tian Shan convergent zone, NW China
The flexural-slip fault (FSF), a type of secondary fault generated by bed-parallel slip, occurs commonly and plays an important role in accommodating fold growth. Although the kinematics and mechanics of FSFs are well studied, relatively few field observations or geometric models explore its geomorphic expression. In the Pamir-Tian Shan convergent zone, NW China, suites of well-preserved FSF sc...
متن کاملThe 1999 M w 7 . 1 Hector Mine , California , Earthquake Sequence : Complex Conjugate Strike - Slip Faulting
The 1999 Mw 7.1 Hector Mine mainshock showed right-lateral strikeslip faulting, with an initial strike of N6 W and vertical dip. The mainshock was preceded within 20 hours by 18 recorded foreshocks of 1.5 M 3.8 within a few kilometers distance of the mainshock hypocenter. The aftershocks delineate how the Hector Mine earthquake ruptured with strike N6 W to the south for a distance of 15 km, and...
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 کاملRefinement to the Existing Analytical Methods of Analysis of Buried Pipelines due to Strike-Slip Faulting
Analytical methods presented to analyze the buried steel pipelines at strike-slip fault crossing use the Euler-Bernoulli beam theory. The cross-section of a buried pipe that is completely surrounded by soil cannot rotate freely and would not be remained perpendicular to the bending line after deformation. So it would be better to take into consideration a rotation between the cross-section and ...
متن کاملMoment tensor and stress inversion for an active fault system in west part of Lut-Block, Iran
Iran is one of the most tectonically active regions on the Alpine-Himalayan earthquake belt. Eastern Iran, nowadays, is one of the most active regions of the country. The occurrence of several destructive earthquakes during the past 50 years provides the evidence for the seismic activity in this region. The earthquakes are mostly concentrated around the Lut-block. There are strike-slip fault sy...
