TL;DR: In this paper, a synthesis of geological and geodetic analyses shows the importance of ramp structures associated with thrust faults for generating large earthquakes and provides a general framework for understanding earthquake in fold-and-thrust belts.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors measured the vertical offset or structural relief with reference to the hanging wall beyond the trishear deformation zone, and calculated the net slip from the structural relief and dip angle of the thrust on a vertical plane along the slip direction.

TL;DR: Based on core-boring estimates, the vertical displace- ment on both sides is 7 m along a 24 east-dipping thrust fault, which ruptured during the Chichi earthquake.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors showed that the Juisui fault of the Longitudinal valley fault is the most important arc-continent collisional boundary fault between the Philippine Sea plate and the Eurasian continent.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors focused on the fault-related fold at two locations, where the fold scarp is characterized with trench excavation and shallow cored boring results, and the structural characteristics revealed by the two trench sites are consistent with a trishear fault-propagation fold growth above a blind thrust.
