A mechanical model of the San Andreas fault and SAFOD Pilot Hole stress measurements
January 1, 2004
Stress measurements made in the SAFOD pilot hole provide an opportunity to study the relation between crustal stress outside the fault zone and the stress state within it using an integrated mechanical model of a transform fault loaded in transpression. The results of this modeling indicate that only a fault model in which the effective friction is very low (
