Introduction
 Fault is a fracture/zone of fracture between two blocks of rock
 In a simple way, fault is the movement of rock on either side
 Faults are the boundaries of huge plates that make up earths crust
 If the rock movement is sudden, it causes earthquake
 If the rock movement is slow, it is called creep, an aseismic process
 Faults can be horizontal, vertical or oblique
 Angle of fault with respect to surface (dip) and direction of slip along fault are defined to
classify faults
3
Types of fault
 Faults which move along the direction of dip plane are dip-slip faults
(in vertical direction)
 If hanging wall moves downward, it is called Normal fault slip
 If hanging wall moves upward, it is called Reverse (Thrust) fault slip
 Faults which move horizontally are called strike-slip fault
 If the far block on either side moves in left, it is called left lateral strike-slip
 If the far block on either side moves in right, it is called right lateral strike-slip
 Sometimes fault doesnt come up to the surface, it is known as Blinded fault

What is an earthquake?
 Earthquake is the energy released due to sudden movement of rocks in form of seismic
waves
 Causes of earthquake : 1 Surface causes
2 Volcanic causes
3 Tectonic causes
7
Elastic rebound theory
 Elastic rebound theory represents the occurrence of tectonic earthquake
 Considering an earthquake has just occurred in a block, which causes co-seismic
deformation
 After certain time many after-shocks will cause post-seismic deformation
 Considering time t = 0, when all energy is dissipated
 Slow accumulation of stress between the blocks will start from t = 0
 Pre-seismic deformation may occur between blocks in few centimeters for many years

 The stress accumulated in the blocks are not uniformly distributed, it is localized stress at
different portion
 Localized stresses are concentrated in a narrow band in width around the fault
 Once the deformation around the fault is such that the stresses are greater than the frictional
resistance of blocks, earthquake is triggered
 At t = 0, sudden release of accumulated slip on fault occurs, which causes slip on the
fault, known as elastic rebound
 Earthquake is a cyclic process, not necessarily periodic
10
Nucleation procedure
 Fault rupture causes an earthquake
 The point at which the earthquake is triggered is known as Nucleation, rupture than
propagate in all direction from the nucleation point
 Fault rupture may have only one or many ruptures on the fault plane
 Many times earthquake triggered at one point causes perturbation on nearer fault, which
leads the other fault earthquake having an earthquake, called induced vibration
11
Asperity, slip, recurrence time, slip-rate
 Whenever two plates collide, there is chance that one plate sub-duct the other one
 At one point, the sub-ducting plate and the upper plate get locked as they both move
towards each other
 The locked area is known as Asperity of fault
 Whenever earthquake occurs, the relative displacement occurs between two plates, it is
known as Slip
 The duration between two major events is called recurrence time interval
 Suppose major event of earthquake occurs every 1000 years and average slip per major
event is 3 meters, then the average creep of 3000/1000 = 3 mm/year occurs, called slip
rate
12
Stick-slip motion
 Any variation in frictional resistance during sliding causes dynamic instability, a sudden
movement occurs due to stress drop
 In repetitions, the sliding occurs when stress is recharged, followed by another instability
 Essentially, in such systems where sliding occurs due to instability, such frictional behavior
is called regular stick-slip.

 Condition for instability, 


 > K
 Coulomb proposed that the static friction coefficient must exceed the dynamic coefficient
of friction for the unstable sliding
 Robanowicz said if two surfaces are kept stationary, given the load for time t, the static
friction coefficient increases with log t
 Robanowicz proposed Critical distance Dc, when friction value is changed from one value
to other, the instability is given by,

Rate and state friction
 Time and velocity both are important aspects for friction
 An increase of 袖  upon the initiation of sliding, followed by previous decay of steady-
state value, the effect is called healing
 As Deiterich-Ruina stated that friction depends on instantaneous sliding velocity V and
time-dependent variable 慮
 袖 = 袖 (V, 慮) = 袖0 + a* ln

+ b* ln

 (A) for shear stress,  = 袖*, where 袖 is coefficient of friction and  is normal stress
 (B) shear stress is the decreasing function of slip un to 倹 and then remain at constant
stress, most common way is piece-wise linear
 Alternative law is Stribeck-curve, depending on a single quantity yet pure velocity
dependence fails to give the stress drop at particular point
 Aging law for healing and slip law for rapid change in slip are combined for proper result
