Three subsequent Tertiary paleostress fields that are deduced from fault-slip data for the
eastern part of the Tajo Basin are analyzed by finite-element studies. The modelling results …

A standard palaeostress analysis was carried out by applying a sequence of the Right
Dihedra, y–R diagram and Etchecopar methods to 37 fault samples collected in Miocene …

Samples of non-striated fracture surfaces within clastic materials of Late Pliocene–
Pleistocene age from the Teruel grabens (eastern Spain) have been analysed using a stress …

The Neogene subsidence history of the Sorbas basin, situated in the Internal Zone of the
Betic Cordilleras of southeastern Spain, is strongly controlled by strike-slip deformation. The …

Previous quantitative studies dealing with the origin of foreland basins have focused
primarily either on the rheological basis of the lithosphere mechanical response or on the …

The study of intraplate tectonics is crucial for understanding the deformation within plates, far
from active plate boundaries and associated stress transmission to the plate interiors. This …

Detailed study of mesoscopic faults and joints affecting Neogene and Pleistocene deposits
in the Iberian Chain and the Ebro Basin, involving statistical study of fracture directions and …

An elastic finite element approach has been used with the dual aim of determining the most
appropriate reference state of stress, namely a uniaxial strain state or a lithostatic state, and …

The orientation of the maximum horizontal stress SH is obtained from the analysis of
borehole breakouts, covering a depth range from 300 to 3415 m (below sea level) in twelve …

Palaeostresses deduced from brittle mesostructures (more than 50 sites and 1500 structures
measured) in the Mesozoic and Tertiary rocks of the Almazán basin, located in the …
