Paleomagnetic data from Sierra San Fermfn in the Gulf of California Extensional Province indicate that localized clockwise rotations about vertical axes occurred uring Pliocene through Recent extension and dextral shear. Relative declination discordances in upper Miocene and Pliocene ash flow tuffs indicate a net clockwise rotation of 30 ø _+ 16 ø. Clockwise rotation between 12.5 and 6 Ma is st...

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...

An analysis of fault-related fold structures and the focal mechanisms of large earthquakes reveals that the maximum horizontal stress is oriented sub-perpendicular to the intracontinental strike-slip Kunlun Fault, which triggered the 1997 Mw 7.6 Manyi and 2001 Mw 7.8 Kunlun earthquakes upon the northern Tibetan Plateau. Based on seismic inversion results and in situ measurements of stress perfo...

In this paper we analyze the characteristics of fault tolerance for grid systems, which serves as a basis to identify the features and techniques of the Globus framework and the way these can be applied for the MedioGrid project. Based on the general MedioGrid architecture and the fault tolerant analysis, we suggest an extension of dynamic replication strategies to address data life cycle using...

We present an approach to design of fault tolerant computing systems. In this paper, a technique is employed that enable the combination of several codes, in order to obtain flexibility in the design of error correcting codes. Code combining techniques are very effective, which one of these codes are turbo codes. The Algorithm-based fault tolerance techniques that to detect errors rely on the c...

In this work, the effect of rock bolt angle on the shear behavior of Rock Bridges is investigated using the particle flow code in two dimensions (PFC2D) for three different Rock Bridge lengths. Firstly, the calibration of PF2D is performed to reproduce the gypsum sample. Then the numerical models with the dimensions of 100 mm * 100 mm are prepared. The Rock Bridge is created in the middle of th...

This paper presents a practical methodology for optimization of concentrically braced steel frames subjected to forward directivity near-fault ground motions, based on the concept of uniform deformation theory. This is performed by gradually shifting inefficient material from strong parts of the structure to the weak areas until a state of uniform deformation is achieved. In this regard, to ove...

The analysis of heat flow, seismic, and topographic data collected in the northern NorwegianGreenland Sea reveals an asymmetric evolution of the Eurasian and North American plates. These data are compared to predictions from three kinematic models of extension which produce asymmetry about the Knipovich Ridge: (1) uniform asymmetric pure shear, (2) lithospheric simple shear, and (3) rift/ridge ...
