Fault Sources
From ASDSO Dam Safety Toolbox
Fault sources are modeled as multi-planar features with earthquake ruptures distributed over the fault plane. The input parameters required to model a fault in a Seismic Hazard Analysis (SHA) are as follows:
- Fault Geometry
- Mechanism (Normal, Reverse, Strike-Slip)
- Magnitude Distribution (required for Probabilistic Seismic Hazard Analysis only)
- Activity Rate (required for Probabilistic Seismic Hazard Analysis only)
