Structural Analysis of the Dasht-e Bayaz (Iran) Earthquake Fractures

Late Paleozoic low-angle southward-dipping thrust in the Züünharaa area, Mongolia: tectonic implications for the geological structures in the Sayan-Baikal and Hangai-Daur belts

“…The Y-and P-planes (e.g., Tchalenko and Ambraseys 1970;Bartlett et al 1981) are defined by thin layers, several millimeters wide, of the clay minerals in parallel orientations ( Fig. 7a-d; similar to observations from other brittle shear zones in Mukherjee 2012Mukherjee , 2013aMukherjee , 2014Mukherjee , 2015.…”

Preliminary slip rate estimates for the Düzce segment of the North Anatolian Fault Zone from offset geomorphic markers

“…All the alluvial fan deposits, generally loose and soft, record continuous landform modification due to faulting and exhibit well-expressed tectonic-related morphologies. As observed for other well known seismogenic structures (e.g., Landers (Sieh et al, 1993;Jhonson et al, 1994;Lazarte et al, 1994); Dast-e Bayaz (Tchalenko and Ambraseys, 1970;Tchalenko and Barberian 1975)), tectonic landforms result to be the surface expression of a localized slip plane at depth. Along the Düzce Fault, such tectonic landforms also reflect a small vertical component of deformation, resulting from strike-slip movement along a non rectilinear fault plane that produces transtension at releasing bends (e.g.…”

The nucleation and evolution of Riedel shear zones as deformation bands in porous sandstone

“…Similarly, rotation across a PSZ is illustrated by deformed passive markers (e.g. Tchalenko & Ambraseys 1970). Most attribute the change in orientation to progressive block rotation on linked shears such as documented in larger -scale wrench fault systems like the San Andreas (Nur et al 1986).…”

“…Many workers document Riedel shear zones in natural systems ranging in scale from regional -scale (e.g. Tchalenko & Ambraseys 1970, Moore 1979, Moore & Byerlee 1992) to outcrop -scale (e.g. Dengo & Logan 1979, Davis 1996 to thin section -scale (e.g.…”
