Rupture Directivity Characteristics of the 2003 Big Bear Sequence
Abstract We have developed a forward modeling technique to retrieve rupture characteristics of small earthquakes (3 < M < 5), including rupture propagation direction, fault dimension, and rupture speed. The technique is based on an empirical Green’s function (EGF) approach, where we use data from collocated smaller events as Green’s functions to study the bigger events. We tend to choose smalle...
متن کاملFault Rupture Propagation through Sand: Finite-Element Analysis and Validation through Centrifuge Experiments
The three notorious earthquakes of 1999 in Turkey Kocaeli and Düzce and Taiwan Chi-Chi , having offered numerous examples of surface fault rupturing underneath civil engineering structures, prompted increased interest in the subject. This paper develops a nonlinear finite-element methodology to study dip–slip “normal” and “reverse” fault rupture propagation through sand. The procedure is verifi...
متن کاملPredicting fault damage zones bymodeling dynamic rupture propagation and comparison with field observations
We use a two-dimensional plane strain dynamic rupture model with strongly rate-weakening friction and off-fault Drucker-Prager plasticity to model damage zones associated with buried second-order thrust faults observed in the SSC reservoir. The modeling of ruptures propagating as self-sustaining pulses is performed in the framework of continuum plasticity where the plasticity formulation includ...
متن کاملEffects of Off-fault Damage on Earthquake Rupture Propagation: Experimental Studies
We review the results of a recent series of papers in which the interaction between a dynamic mode II fracture on a fault plane and off-fault damage has been studied using high-speed photography. In these experiments, fracture damage was created in photoelastic Homalite plates by thermal shock in liquid nitrogen and rupture velocities were measured by imaging fringes at the tips. In this paper ...
متن کاملLarge‐displacement, hydrothermal frictional properties of DFDP‐1 fault rocks, Alpine Fault, New Zealand: Implications for deep rupture propagation
The Alpine Fault, New Zealand, is a major plate-bounding fault that accommodates 65-75% of the total relative motion between the Australian and Pacific plates. Here we present data on the hydrothermal frictional properties of Alpine Fault rocks that surround the principal slip zones (PSZ) of the Alpine Fault and those comprising the PSZ itself. The samples were retrieved from relatively shallow...
