Large seismogenic faults consist of approximately meter-thick fault cores surrounded by
hundreds-of-meters-thick damage zones. Earthquakes are generated by rupture …

Fault‐damage zones comprise multiscale fracture networks that may slip dynamically and
interact with the main fault during earthquake rupture. Using 3D dynamic rupture simulations …

Characterizing the stress heterogeneity and crustal complexities are essential to understand
the important aspects of rupture development and its propagation in a tectonically active …

The permeability structure of a fault zone is strongly dependent on the occurrence of meso-
scale fracture patterns within the damage zone. Here, structural analyses of Virtual Outcrop …

Abstract The Mt. Vettore area is located in the Central Apennines (Italy), a region
characterized by intense seismic activity that has recorded multiple moderate-to-high …

Highly fragmented rocks (ie, pulverized rocks) in the fault damage zone presumably develop
during co-seismic deformation processes. These pulverized rocks close to the fault core are …

Coseismic landslides are observed in higher concentrations around surface-rupturing faults.
This observation has been attributed to a combination of stronger ground motions and …

We quantitatively investigate the spatial stress variations within the fault zone rock mass by
explicitly incorporating macroscopic fractures into a 2D multilayer model. Based on elastic …

We use high‐resolution earthquake locations to characterize the three‐dimensional
structure of active faults in California and how it evolves with fault structural maturity. We …

Seismological fracture or breakdown energy represents energy expended in a volume
surrounding the advancing rupture front and the slip** fault surface. Estimates are …
