The Evolution of Stress and Strain around the Bayan Har Block in the Tibetan Plateau

Figure 6

The effect of periphery faults on the accumulative stress of Bayan Har block. The left lower diagram in each figure indicates the state of periphery faults. The red color marked on the fault shows that it is under the yield state. (a)–(d) show the accumulative stress distribution after loading with GPS observation for 264 years, 274 years, 280 years, and 542 years, respectively. The parameters used in this calculation are shown in Table 2 (case 5).
