The present paper reviews our current understanding of fault dimensions and their scaling
laws, with special focus on faults in siliciclastic rocks. The aim is to provide a comprehensive …

We develop new empirical scaling laws for rupture width W⁠, rupture length L⁠, rupture
area A⁠, and average slip D⁠, based on a large database of rupture models. The database …

This article presents the latest generation of ground-motion models for the prediction of
elastic response (pseudo-) spectral accelerations, as well as peak ground acceleration and …

This essential reference for graduate students and researchers provides a unified treatment
of earthquakes and faulting as two aspects of brittle tectonics at different timescales. The …

This contribution to the Electronic Seismologist presents the online SRCMOD database of
finite-fault rupture models for past earthquakes, accessible at http://equake‑rc. info/srcmod …

There now exist about three dozen historical earthquakes for which investigators have
constructed maps of earthquake rupture traces accompanied by descriptions of the …

Earthquake slip distributions are asymmetric along strike, but the reasons for the asymmetry
are unknown. We address this question by establishing empirical relations between …

Large [moment magnitude (M w)≥ 7] continental earthquakes often generate complex,
multifault ruptures linked by enigmatic zones of distributed deformation. Here, we report the …

Faults are complex structures that substantially influence the mechanical behavior and
hydraulic connectivity of rock formations. Therefore, studying faults is important for a variety …

We use a database of more than 80 finite-source rupture models for more than 50
earthquakes (M w 4.1–8.1) with different faulting styles occurring in both tectonic and …
