TLDR
In this paper, a detailed geologic, structural, and geomorphic map of an excellent natural laboratory in the Southern Yangsan Fault (SYF) in the southeastern part of the Korean Peninsula was used to elucidate the fault zone architecture and its controls on the rupture processes of neotectonic earthquakes.About:

Estimation discontinuity spacing and trace length using scanline surveys
TL;DR: In this article, the authors present an expression which gives the degree of confidence that can be assigned to the measured mean discontinuity spacing, and a reduced form of this expression is obtained for cases where the discontinuity spacings follow the negative exponential distribution.
The fracture energy of earthquakes
TL;DR: In this article, the authors used the Keylis-Borok relationship to evaluate the fracture energy of a semi-infinite longitudinal shear crack and found that fresh fracture was associated with 10'-lQ9 erg cm-2 while frictional rupture with 103-107 erg cm -2.
Focal Mechanisms of Recent Earthquakes in the Southern Korean Peninsula
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors evaluate the stress field in and around the southern Korean Peninsula with focal mechanism solutions, using the data collected from 71 earthquakes (ML = 1.9−5.2) between 1999 and 2004.

A multidisciplinary approach to characterization of the mature northern Yangsan fault in Korea and its active faulting
Long‐Term Weakening Processes and Short‐Term Seismic Slip Behavior of an Intraplate Mature Fault Zone: A Case Study of the Yangsan Fault, SE Korea
TL;DR: In this paper , the Yangsan Fault has been studied for long-term and short-term deformation processes and the deformation is more concentrated in the eastern block (Cretaceous sedimentary rock with felsic dikes) of the fault zone than in the western block (Paleogene granite).

The Mechanics of Earthquakes and Faulting
TL;DR: The connection between faults and the seismicity generated is governed by the rate and state dependent friction laws -producing distinctive seismic styles of faulting and a gamut of earthquake phenomena including aftershocks, afterslip, earthquake triggering, and slow slip events.
Journal ArticleDOI
Fault rocks and fault mechanisms
TL;DR: In this paper, physical factors likely to affect the genesis of the various fault rocks are examined in relation to the energy budget of fault zones, the main velocity modes of faulting and the type of fault, whether thrust, wrench, or normal.
Journal ArticleDOI
Earthquakes and friction laws
TL;DR: The traditional view of tectonics is that the lithosphere comprises a strong brittle layer overlying a weak ductile layer, which gives rise to two forms of deformation: brittle fracture, accompanied by earth-quakes, in the upper layer, and aseismic ductile flow in the layer beneath as mentioned in this paper.
Journal ArticleDOI
Laboratory-derived friction laws and their application to seismic faulting
TL;DR: In this article, a review of the relationship between friction and the properties of earthquake faults is presented, as well as an interpretation of the friction state variable, including its interpretation as a measure of average asperity contact time and porosity within granular fault gouge.

TL;DR: Fault zones and fault systems have a key role in the development of the Earth's crust and control the mechanics and fluid flow properties of the crust, and the architecture of sedimentary deposits in basins as discussed by the authors.
