Refinement 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 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 کاملStructural evidence on strike slip Kinematic inversion of the Kushk-e-Nosrat Fault zone, Central Iran
NW-tending faults in Central Iran are expected to represent dominant dextral components due to their orientation with respect to the northward motion of the Arabian Plate with respect to Eurasia. However, previously published works, as well as the focal mechanism solution of the area's earthquakes, indicate evidence of sinistral kinematic along the major faults in Central Iran. Here we present ...
متن کاملThe mechanics of first order splay faulting: The strike-slip case
First order splay faults, as defined here, are secondary faults that form at acute angles symmetrically on either side of a primary fault of the same sense of shear. We show that these faults form when the primary fault becomes critically misaligned with the principal stresses such that splay fault formation, on the optimum plane for faulting, is favored. First order splay faults, in distinctio...
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...
