Response Analysis of the Free Field under Fault Movements

Figure 5

Schematic diagram of the model structure and parameters. L is the width of the obvious deformation zone at the surface, P is the horizontal distance from the maximum inclination point on the ground to the perpendicular bisector of the fault model, S is the horizontal distance from the midpoint of the shear zone to the model’s perpendicular bisector, H is the thickness of the overlying soil, B is the fault dip angle, and d is the vertical displacement of the fault.
