Describing surface stratigraphic sections. 6, it maybe assumed that a strong force or stress acted in the vertical direction in case (b), and in the horizontal direction in case (c). This means that they were perpendicular before deformation started too. This paper presents paleostress tensors calculated from fault planes and striations measured along two main faults and two minor faults of the eastern alborz, in north of Iran. The word strain has a different meaning in science and engineering it describes something purely kinematic a change in shape or volume, however caused. A physical quantity that can be represented by a single number. In geologically reasonable situations, the amount of strain that occurs in a second is almost infinitesimal. Straight lines remains straight, parallel lines remain parallel. This evidence show that area has been in compressional condition. In this course we take a more practical approach and focus on describing structures first. The total strain that a part of the Earth has undergone, between its original configuration and the present-day state. (bd) Antithetic, vertical and synthetic shear. The image of the main axes of the paleostress field in study area that measured by fault planes(1 = 1, 2 = 2 and 3 = 3). How does it work? (A) and (C) R and R fractures along with the fault step, (B) and (D) the amount of the rick angle and scratches line on the surface of the fault. A common kinematic problem involving rotation is to remove the effects of folding from some structure. Strain can vary from place to place in rocks. The history itself can only be revealed through careful analysis of the data. Dominant structural trend in this area is E-W, NE-NW. Powered by. Using from these methods and investigate the structural element of study area, show direction of stress field in study area [4] [5]. The plots show the variations within each subarea, portrayed by means of poles, rose diagrams, and an arrow indicating the average orientation.

It may not always be easy to answer such questions, but the approach should always be to analyze the eld information and compare with experimental and/or numerical models. As beds are unfolded, the paleocurrent directions they contain rotate along small circles on the stereonet. (The corresponding dynamic term is stress, which we will study in a later section. 0000003456 00000 n The latest Precambrian to Middle Triassic succession is unconformably covered by the Shemshak Formation, up to 4000 m thick, deposited after docking of the Iran microplate to the Eurasian margin. (b, c) Relative movement can be determined if layer rotation can be observed close to the fault. In contrast if a is small and b is large then the strain ellipsoid looks like a cushion or a pancake, and is described as oblate. Figure 7. It is a more complicated quantity that is called a tensor. The position of picked up stations for sampling paleostress. The ratio between the long and short axis of the strain ellipse, a convenient measure of the amount of distortion in two dimensions. This type of problem is most easily solved on the stereographic projection. 0000002456 00000 n 0000003636 00000 n 0000006966 00000 n Structural analysis of fault with angelier inversion method show main stress, field is near the NE-SW trend (Figure 6). (Note that even in a non-rotational strain other lines will have been rotated, and will show shear strain, but it is the strain axes that are important for the terminology here.). An example of how geometric analysis can lead to a kinematic model, in this case of sense of movement on a fault. The strain ratio is a convenient measure of the amount of distortion in 2-D. Alborzmountain belt with several thousand kilometers between the Caspian Sea and the Central Iran has situated. The method enables us to determine the position of the principal paleostress axes and the geometrical shape of the stress ellipsoid for reconstruction of paleostress regime dominating the tectonic events by solving reduced stress tensors. The study area has located in Eeastern Alborz-Lesser Caucasus physiographic province (Figure 1). (2017) Determine Stress Field of the Shirband Area by Geometric and Kinematic Analysis of Faults and Folds (North Damqan, Iran). Three mutually perpendicular lines in a strain ellipsoid representing the maximum, minimum, and intermediate stretches; also, the poles to three planes of zero shear strain. The analysis of the geometry of structures is referred to as geometric analysis. Fig 3, Synthetic structural data sets showing different degree of homogeneity. Another common phenomenon involving negative dilation is pressure solution in which some minerals in a rock are dissolved in response to stress. The strain ellipse is a convenient way to represent a state of homogenous strain, or the strain at a point, on a two-dimensional surface. alexandr serdyukov geophysics trofimuk petroleum Coaxial deformation: deformation in which the rock material is not rotated relative to the strain axes. Listric normal fault showing very irregular. When rocks are distorted they typically get longer in some directions and shorter in others. Structural Analysis, Stress Field, Faults, Folds, Astaneh Fault, Eastern Alborz, Shirband Area. Extension is thefractional change in length. These lines are strain axes. This scrambling volcanic-magmatic has been extremely high since the late Paleocene and throughout the early Eocene. Then it has rifted by tension in a back arc basin of Neotethyiansubduction zone in the south margin of Cimmerian miniplate. 0000003820 00000 n In this paper faults and folds of shirband area (north of damqan) investigated to determine the orient of the stress field. Figure 4. The strain ratio is the ratio between the long axis and the short axis of the strain ellipse: The strain ellipsoid is a convenient way to represent a state of homogenous strain, or the strain at a point, in three dimensions. Any other type of strain history is a noncoaxial. It d What is iron ore? It is a part of the Alpine-Himalaya belt that located between Eurasian and Cimmerian plates [7] [8]. Picture Window theme. (The limit of incremental deformation as the time interval tends to zero. Then these analysis result processed as a vulnerability zone of slope failure. There are two ways to measure change in length. The strain history is thought of as being made up of an infinite number of infinitesimal strain increments. Where do earthquake travel-time curves come from? 1. ), Deformation in which the strain axes remain fixed to the rock material throughout deformation. The Eo-Cimmerian unconformity is particularly evident in the Shemshak area, where the basal beds of the formation lie directly on the Permo-Carboniferous units [13]. Dilation is a scalar quantity it just has a magnitude. This study was conducted as a part of MS dissertation by Science and Research. However, if we nd a deection of the layering along the fault, we can use that geometry to interpret the sense of movement on the fault. They also show some changes in the stress field direction, which occurred after Eocene. Once we start looking at rotation, its difficult to avoid discussing strain history too. %PDF-1.4 % Finally investigation on three fold has supplementary rule to determine stress field of study area. A type of non-coaxial deformation in which particles move along lines parallel to a single plane. This papers objective is to propose a correlation between geological structure and kinematic analysis, where it has an essential role in figuring out the potential type of slope failure. Selecting this option will search the current publication in context. A physical quantity that has magnitude and direction, and can be represented by an arrow. What part of the fault formed rst? Cross-sections and Three-point Problems, Lab 3. According to our dynamic analysis on the faults, we classified the tectonic events in the study area. The movements of parts of the Earth's crust relative to each other. (a) A fault where stratigraphy cannot be correlated across the fault. If the strain axes have the same orientation as they did before deformation started, then the deformation is non-rotational (sometimes irrotational). 0000001445 00000 n The strain ellipse is thus a good way to represent the variation of longitudinal strain with direction. They are always at right angles to each other, and they also represent lines of zero shear strain. When we look at a deformed rock what we see is the product of a whole history of deformation. If original length is l0 and new length is l, Extension (sometimes elongation) e=(l-l0)/l0. Copyright 2022 by authors and Scientific Research Publishing Inc. Schematic of the structural represents the main structural elements from the North Damqan mountains can be seen in it study the area. Under these circumstances its helpful to look at the behaviour of the strain axes. Development of that rift stopped in the late Cretaceous and then, renewed in the Eocene by spreading in submarine arc basin of Neotethyiansubduction zone. The strain at a point in a heterogeneously strained rock follows the same mathematical rules as homogenous strain. (b) Systematic variation in layer orientation measurements. There are three types of geologic contact: 1. The radius of the strain ellipse in any direction is equal to the stretch s in that direction. The total deformation that a part of the Earth has undergone, between its original configuration and the present-day state. Streographic characteristics of major 3 folds in north of Damqan. Structural characteristic of folds in study area. Based on previous works on the salt and mud diapirism [17] [18] and neotectonic regime in Iran [19] [20] [21], Zagros in south Iran is the most active zone [22] [23]. Strain axes dont necessarily coincide with any special direction on a map.). These irregularities can be thought of as large grooves or. Geological Structures: A Practical Introduction, Lab 2. Depositional contacts are those Folds Geometry It is fascinating to watch folds form and develop in the laboratory, and we can learn much about folds and folding by Learning Geology. Translation is measured as a displacement. We are still dealing with dynamic analyses, but the part of dynamics related to the ow of rocks is referred to as. There is 3 main fold with approximately NE-SW strike in study area (Figure 5). From tectonics view, it contains deformed zone (fold and thrust belt) of Cimmerian miniplate that formed in northern active margin until late Triassic. The strain axes are the only lines that have this property. Instead we recognize two strain ratios a= sX/sY and b= sY/sZ. A strain ellipse has two lines that are special. (A rotation is therefore also a vector quantity, because it has a magnitude and a direction.). However, by now, it should be clear that changes in the shape of rocks can be recognized in all the structures you have studied so far. Then, it has decreased in the Miocene and Oligocene and there was a big scrambling under the influence at the beginning of the Quaternary across the study area. Our reconstruction of the successive paleostress states allows accurate determination of the fault behaviours in the eastern Alborz, which cannot be obtained from geometric analyses of seismic profiles and well data interpretation and therefore provides better understanding of the Permian to Cenozoic tectonic processes. Table 1. are useful tools in microstructural analysis. The last point emphasizes the fact that most structures are composite and appear in certain, In geometric analysis it is very useful to represent orientation data (e.g. (c) Homogeneous subareas due to kink or chevron folding. A physical quantity that varies in magnitude with orientation, and can be represented by an ellipse or ellipsoid, or by a square matrix of numbers. When we study how things moved over geologic time, we are studying kinematics. They represent the maximum and minimum stretches. The last two together constitute non-rigid deformation or strain. Rocks with oblate strains often display strong planar fabrics (foliations). Then the data was processed and value and with the use of the software Fault Kin, Tectonic FP data for import into software was ready for Win Tensor, and for each region were paleostress analysis [28]. Strain rates are typically measured in units of per second, or s-1sometimes expressed asstrains per second. Seismically active fault in the Gulf of Corinth. Orientation of stress field investigated and classified by using from some large and medium scale faults and folds. Note the different hanging-wall geometries and the fact that the shear only affects the left part of the hanging wall. There are some different ideas about its latest activities. There are several different ways (methods) to analysis stress tensors from slicken lines of faults. Because of this, strain cannot be represented by a scalar or a vector. Strain axes have some other special properties. Returning to the example shown in Fig. The study of how parts of the Earth moved over geologic time. Investigations result show major faults of the area have sinisteral mechanism. 0000001291 00000 n Waterways displacement and slicken slip of faults approve this issue. This kind of analysis may therefore involve additional elements of sedimentology, paleontology, petrology, geophysics and other subdisciplines of geoscience. Figure 6 b, c shows the different geometries that we would expect for normal and reverse movements. The first phase in late Eocene in the posterior with compressional stress has been N-Strend, and the second phase in the Middle Miocene (Sarmatin) compressional phase has been SW-NE trend that caused the evolution of the thrusts with N-S trend in this area. Fig 7. 0000000704 00000 n Both the optical microscope and the scanning electron microscope (SEM) (Fig. Central Alborz region have already affected by several strong structural tectonic events. Fig. Morphotectonic units of the study area can be separated and classified as following from South to North (Figure 2): 1) Neogen and quaternary sediment is the youngest sediments in south. The small circles are centred on the fold axis. Compaction results in a negative dilation. c 2> endobj 52 0 obj << /ProcSet [ /PDF /Text ] /Font << /TT2 54 0 R /TT4 56 0 R /TT6 57 0 R >> /ExtGState << /GS1 61 0 R >> /ColorSpace << /Cs5 58 0 R >> >> endobj 53 0 obj << /Type /FontDescriptor /Ascent 891 /CapHeight 656 /Descent -216 /Flags 34 /FontBBox [ -568 -307 2000 1007 ] /FontName /TimesNewRoman /ItalicAngle 0 /StemV 94 /XHeight 0 >> endobj 54 0 obj << /Type /Font /Subtype /TrueType /FirstChar 32 /LastChar 122 /Widths [ 250 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 333 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 722 667 722 722 667 611 778 0 389 0 778 667 944 722 778 611 0 722 556 667 722 722 1000 0 722 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 500 0 444 556 444 333 500 556 278 0 0 278 833 556 500 556 0 444 389 333 556 0 0 0 500 444 ] /Encoding /WinAnsiEncoding /BaseFont /TimesNewRoman,Bold /FontDescriptor 55 0 R >> endobj 55 0 obj << /Type /FontDescriptor /Ascent 891 /CapHeight 656 /Descent -216 /Flags 34 /FontBBox [ -558 -307 2000 1026 ] /FontName /TimesNewRoman,Bold /ItalicAngle 0 /StemV 160 >> endobj 56 0 obj << /Type /Font /Subtype /TrueType /FirstChar 32 /LastChar 150 /Widths [ 250 0 0 0 0 0 778 0 333 333 0 564 250 333 250 278 500 500 500 500 500 500 500 500 500 500 278 278 0 0 0 0 0 722 667 667 722 611 556 722 722 333 389 722 611 889 722 722 556 0 667 556 611 722 722 944 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 444 500 444 500 444 333 500 500 278 278 500 278 778 500 500 500 500 333 389 278 500 500 722 500 500 444 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 333 444 444 0 500 ] /Encoding /WinAnsiEncoding /BaseFont /TimesNewRoman /FontDescriptor 53 0 R >> endobj 57 0 obj << /Type /Font /Subtype /TrueType /FirstChar 32 /LastChar 121 /Widths [ 352 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 454 454 0 0 364 454 364 0 0 636 636 636 0 0 0 0 0 0 454 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 698 0 0 0 775 0 421 0 693 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 684 616 0 0 989 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 601 623 521 623 596 352 623 633 274 0 592 274 973 633 607 623 0 427 521 394 633 592 818 0 592 ] /Encoding /WinAnsiEncoding /BaseFont /Verdana /FontDescriptor 59 0 R >> endobj 58 0 obj [ /CalRGB << /WhitePoint [ 0.9505 1 1.089 ] /Gamma [ 2.22221 2.22221 2.22221 ] /Matrix [ 0.4124 0.2126 0.0193 0.3576 0.71519 0.1192 0.1805 0.0722 0.9505 ] >> ] endobj 59 0 obj << /Type /FontDescriptor /Ascent 1005 /CapHeight 734 /Descent -209 /Flags 32 /FontBBox [ -50 -207 1447 1000 ] /FontName /Verdana /ItalicAngle 0 /StemV 96 >> endobj 60 0 obj << /Length 3070 /Filter /FlateDecode >> stream Fig. (a) Pure translation.

In popular speech the word strain conjours up an impression of applying force; straining at something implies a dynamic process. simplified breccia geological olympic complex haynes Journal of Geoscience and Environment Protection, Geology Department, Faculty of Science, Shahrood University, Shahrood, Iran, Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International License. The stratigraphic succession of the Alborz [10] spans the whole Phanerozoic. The study area (Figure 1) is located in the northern range of Damqan in the eastern Alborz Mountain. In other words, this hinterland is a result of a magmatic arc system spreading in the evolutional back arc basin. Add your e-mail address to receive free newsletters from SCIRP. Strain analysis commonly involves, Geometric description also forms the foundation of.
