Short note: A velocity description of shear fault-bend folding
نویسندگان
چکیده
This short note presents a derivation of the velocity description of deformation for the geometric models of pure-shear and simple-shear faultbend folding. This allows the calculation of rates of displacement, uplift and limb-rotation associated with such structures and their comparison with classical fault-bend folds. Using this velocity description, we examine the differences between pure-shear and simple-shear fault-bend folds, in terms of uplift, limb rotation and particle trajectories resulting from deformation. q 2006 Elsevier Ltd.

Analysis of fold and fault-related fracture systems development using image logs at Asmari Formation in the Rag Sefid Anticline, SW Iran
Image logs of 13 wells in the Rag Sefid Anticline show two systems of fractures developed under two deformation phase in the Dezful Embayment. This deformation phases are folding resulted from Zagros NE contraction and reactivation of the basement fault rotated the fold axial trace within the Hendijan-Izeh fault zone. Folding phase comprises four sets of fractures, which include axial and cross...
متن کاملDetermine folding mechanism of Lali structure, northern Dezful, Zagros, Iran
Lali sub-surface structure, with a NW-SE Zagros trending is located in Dezful Embayment. To determine the folding mechanism, structural geometric parameters including limbs dip, amplitude, wavelength, and crestal length were determined in four stages during deformation. In order to investigate the lateral folding mechanism, these geometric parameters were analyzed in three parts in the Lal...
متن کاملEvaluation of Nonlinear Response of Structures to Near-Fault Ground Motions and the Comparison of Results with Near-Fault Simulated Records
Near-fault ground motions have caused very much damage in the vicinity of seismic sources during recent earthquakes. It is well known that under specific circumstances, intensive ground shakings near fault ruptures may be characterized by short-duration impulsive motions. This pulse-type motion is generally particular to the forward direction, where the fault rupture propagates towards the site...
متن کاملSignatures of the Balarud Deep Seated Fault Zone in Khushab Anticline, SW Iran, An Integrated Study
The Khushab anticline is located in the Zagros fold-thrust belt in the Lurestan. This anticline is affected by the Balarud fault zone, which is a part of Mountain Front Fault between the Lurestan and Dezful Embayment zones. Based on the measurement of the elements of fold style, this anticline is analyzed. According to these measurements, this anticline is a noncylindrical, asymmetrical and dis...
متن کاملExperimental Investigation of Turbidity Flow in 90 Degree Bend with Mobile Bed
Turbidity currents in the ocean and lakes are driven by suspended sediment. The vertical profiles of velocity and excess density are shaped by interaction between the current and bed as well as between the current and the ambient water. This paper presents 48 series of experiments in which saline gravity currents flow through a laboratory sinuous flume. flume contains three successive bends wit...
