Table 3
Model assumptions for the three typical fault regimes plotted in a 3D Mohr diagram.
Fault type | Case | Strike angle, α (relative to SHmax) | Angle, β (normal stress relative to horizontal plane) | Dip angle, θ = 90° − β |
---|---|---|---|---|
Normal fault | 1 | 0° | 30° | 60° |
Strike-slip | 2 | 30° | 0° | 90° |
Reverse fault | 3 | 90° | 60° | 30° |
