Temporal evolution of surface rupture deduced from coseismic multi-mode secondary fractures: Insights from the October 8, 2005 (Mw 7.6) Kashmir earthquake, NW Himalaya

Splay fault slip during the Mw 8.8 2010 Maule Chile earthquake

“…4). Coseismic surface rupture of secondary extensional structures analogous to those at ISM are common, and were observed during the 1964 Alaska earthquake (Plafker, 1967) as well as other fold-related thrust earthquakes at a wide range of spatial scales (see review in Sayab and Khan, 2010). Thus, we infer the coseismic northward tilt of ISM resulted from a gradient in slip along northeast-striking transpressional faults of the SFMS, although motion on northwest-striking faults and fold axes south and east of ISM is also possible.…”

Regolith modeling and its relation to earthquake induced building damage: A remote sensing approach

“…Earthquakes in the region are often associated with the crustal scale east-west trending regional thrust faults. From north to south these are the Main Karakoram Thrust (MKT), the Main Mantle Thrust (MMT), the Main Boundary Thrust (MBT) and the Main Frontal thrust (MFT) (Sayab and Khan, 2010). The area ( Fig.…”

Static and Dynamic Influence of the Shear Zone on Rockburst Occurrence in the Headrace Tunnel of the Neelum Jhelum Hydropower Project, Pakistan

“…The NJHEP is located in a tectonically active range of the Himalayas, which is pierced by a series of regional thrust faults: the main front thrust, the main boundary thrust, the main central thrust, and the main mantle thrust [24][25][26]. These structures have been originated by the collision between two plate boundaries from the Mesozoic to late Cenozoic period.…”
