On
reverse faults, rocks on one side of the fault move up and rocks on the other side move down.
Gosselin (1988) considered the converging Petit-Montreal, Mont-St-Joseph and Grande-Cascapedia faults (Grande-Cascapedia fault system) as steeply dipping late Acadian
reverse faults that were active subsequent to regional Acadian folding, but also reports evidence for sinistral and, to a lesser degree, dextral movement along subordinate structures of the deformation corridor.
It is concluded that a rock burst induced by the
reverse fault is more likely to accumulate a significant amount of elastic energy with strong destruction, upon conducting a statistical analysis of a rock burst disaster induced by the
reverse fault.
The present morphology of the range at its eastern margin is shaped by approximately NNE-trending
reverse faults. NW-trending strike-slip faults cross the entire belt.
The current paper aims at studying the deformation and sectional forces in a specific tunnel lining under the influence of near field earthquakes including permanent displacement induced by the
reverse fault slip and subsequent dynamic strong ground motions.
Mapping of these faults has been mainly derived from topography ruptures observed in DEM (see Section 5.1) allowing the author to make the distinction between brittle-Neogene normal faults from ductile Hercynian
reverse faults (shear zones) and from brittle to ductile-Pyrenean
reverse faults.
Northeast to southwest traverse along the cross-section, the Kalabagh Fault appears as a steeply southwest dipping
reverse fault along which the eastern side has been downthrown.
greater than 3D), only the horizontal component of
reverse fault dislocation was influential.
The main late Miocene to Quaternary tectonic structures in the Sierra Alhamilla region are the transpressive dextral-reverse Polopos Fault Zone that includes the dextral Gafarillos fault segments to the east of the ridge and their continuation towards the west as the North Alhamilla
reverse fault (NARF) in the northern limb of the Alhamilla anticlinorium (Ott d'Estevou and Montenant, 1990; Stapel et al., 1996; Huibregtse et al., 1998; Jonk and Biermann, 2002).
Both these faults appear as splays from a south verging high angle
reverse fault present in the south.
