Glossary of fault and other fracture networks

DCP Peacock, CW Nixon, A Rotevatn… - Journal of Structural …, 2016 - Elsevier
Increased interest in the two-and three-dimensional geometries and development of faults
and other types of fractures in rock has led to an increasingly bewildering terminology. Here …

[HTML][HTML] Carbonate hosted fault rocks: A review of structural and microstructural characteristic with implications for seismicity in the upper crust

C Delle Piane, MB Clennell, JVA Keller… - Journal of Structural …, 2017 - Elsevier
The structure, frictional properties and permeability of faults within carbonate rocks exhibit a
dynamic interplay that controls both seismicity and the exchange of fluid between different …

A broader classification of damage zones

DCP Peacock, V Dimmen, A Rotevatn… - Journal of Structural …, 2017 - Elsevier
Damage zones have previously been classified in terms of their positions at fault tips, walls
or areas of linkage, with the latter being described in terms of sub-parallel and …

Relationships between fractures

DCP Peacock, DJ Sanderson, A Rotevatn - Journal of Structural Geology, 2018 - Elsevier
Fracture systems comprise many fractures that may be grouped into sets based on their
orientation, type and relative age. The fractures are often arranged in a network that involves …

Fault zone architecture and its scaling laws: where does the damage zone start and stop?

A Torabi, TSS Ellingsen, MU Johannessen… - Geological Society …, 2020 - lyellcollection.org
Damage zones of different fault types are investigated in siliciclastics (Utah, USA),
carbonates (Majella Mountain, Italy) and metamorphic rocks (western Norway). The study …

[HTML][HTML] Structural control on fluid circulation in a graben system: Constraints from the Saint Pierre Bois quarry (Vosges, France)

C Dezayes, C Lerouge, C Innocent, P Lach - Journal of Structural Geology, 2021 - Elsevier
Defining the fracture network and the active fluid pathways are fundamental to
characterizing a fractured reservoir. With this goal, we chose the Saint Pierre Bois quarry …

[HTML][HTML] Quantifying structural controls on fluid flow: Insights from carbonate-hosted fault damage zones on the Maltese Islands

V Dimmen, A Rotevatn, DCP Peacock… - Journal of Structural …, 2017 - Elsevier
Structural complexity along faults (eg, relay zones, fault intersections and jogs) exert strong
controls on fluid flow, yet few attempts have been made to quantify and visualise such …

Mechanical behavior, failure mode, and transport properties in a porous carbonate

P Baud, U Exner, M Lommatzsch… - Journal of …, 2017 - Wiley Online Library
