9706199 Schlische Considerable interest exists in extrapolating fault behavior and attributes of small, easily studied faults to large, typically more difficult to study, major faults. The scaling relations in fault populations of interest include the size distribution of faults, the relationship between displacement and length, the spatial distribution of faults, and the strain accommodated. This study will utilize exposures of rocks where faults of various sizes have been identified. The work will be directed towards testing several hypotheses concerning how faults are spatially distributed in relation to major faults and on how various fault parameters change as the faults become larger. Result will be of use in fault modeling and in a variety of practical issues.

9706199 Schlische 人们对将易于研究的小断层的断层行为和属性外推到通常更难研究的大断层存在很大的兴趣。 感兴趣的断层群中的尺度关系包括断层的尺寸分布、位移与长度之间的关系、断层的空间分布以及所容纳的应变。 这项研究将利用已识别出各种尺寸断层的岩石暴露情况。 这项工作将旨在测试几个假设，这些假设涉及断层如何相对于主要断层进行空间分布，以及随着断层变大，各种断层参数如何变化。 结果将用于故障建模和各种实际问题。
