It is intended to assist applicants and reviewers in evaluating faults at sites for nuclear facilities. Appalachian faults were found to fall into 13 groups which can be defined on either their temporal, generic, or descriptive.properties. They are as follows: Group 1, faults with demonstrable Cenozoic movement; Group 2, Wildflysch type thrust sheets; Group 3, bedding plane thrusts - decollements; Group A, pre- to synmetamorphic thrusts in medium to high grade terranes; Group 5, post-metamorphic thrusts in medium to high grade terranes; Group 6, thrusts rooted in low crystalline basement; Group 7, high angle reverse faults; Group 8, strike'slip faults; Group. 9, .normal (block) faults; Group 10, compound faults; Group 11, structural lineaments; Group 12, faults associated with local centers; and Group 13, faults related to geomorphic phenomena. Unhealed faults (Groups 1, 6, 8, 9, and 12) must be considered candidates for reactivation. Heated brittle or auctile faults (Groups 4, 5, and 10)· are not places of mechanical discontinuity and are unlikely candidates for reacti~ation. The remaining groups (2, 3, 7, 11, and 13) should be . individually assessed as to their potential for reactivation. iii '\ CONTENTS Page I.

  • Joint Loading Configurations Inferred from Propagation Paths
    Journal of Structural Geology 21 (1999) 1637±1652 www.elsevier.nl/locate/jstrugeo Joint interaction with embedded concretions: joint loading con®gurations inferred from propagation paths David T. McConaughy 1, Terry Engelder* Department of Geosciences, The Pennsylvania State University, University Park, PA 16802, USA Received 16 December 1997; accepted 18 May 1999 Abstract The interaction between propagating joints and embedded concretions in a Devonian black shale near Seneca Lake, NY, permits identi®cation of the loading con®gurations responsible for two joint sets of dierent ages striking at nearly the same orientation. The earlier set consists of systematic joints cut by later Alleghanian joints of the Appalachian Plateau. The later set consists of non-systematic curving cross joints that abut these same Alleghanian joints. Field evidence shows that concretions functioned as sti inclusions in a compliant black shale. As a consequence of this elastic contrast, local perturbations in the remote stress ®eld persisted around the concretions during burial, tectonic deformation, and exhumation. These stress perturbations in¯uenced joint propagation paths of both joint sets. Our conclusions about loading con®gurations are based on ®nite-element modeling of the eect of the local stress perturbation on concretion-modi®ed joint propagation. Modeling shows that the local stress perturbation from a thermoelastic loading was responsible for de¯ecting cross joints away from concretions in a curved propagation path near the concretion. This load con®guration also led to arrest of cross joints before they penetrated the shale±concretion interface. At greater distances from the concretion, the propagation path of cross joints was controlled by the contemporary tectonic stress ®eld.

  • Gunstock Mountain Trail & Winter Shortcut Trail
    Trail Name: Gunstock Mountain Trail & Winter Shortcut Trail Gilford, NH Trail Description: Mike Ware ________________________________________________________________________________________ Gunstock Mountain Trail From the Belknap Mountain Carriage Road’s lower parking lot gate, travel down Carriage Road for 100 yards. The trail head is on the left. This trail ascends to the summit of Gunstock Mountain. The Gunstock Mtn. Trail (blazed orange) climbs steeply at first on a ridge above a stream that lies below to the right. Blue blazes in this area are markers for the State Forest Boundary. At 0.3 mi., cross through an opening in the stone wall, and the trail now travels away from the ridge. At 0.5 mi. the trail bears right and crosses a small stream bed. The trail then ascends through an area of ledge and boulders. At 0.6 miles, bear right to follow Gunstock Mtn. Trail. At 0.7 miles, there is a junction with the Winter Shortcut Trail (blazed green). Here, the Gunstock Mtn. Trail bears right and the Winter Shortcut Trail ascends steeply to the left. The Winter Shortcut Trail provides an alternate route to the Gunstock summit. The Winter Shortcut Trail ends on the Ridge Trail (blazed white), 0.1 mi. from the summit. The Winter Shortcut Trail has somewhat less ledge than the Gunstock Mtn. Trail, and may be better to use during wet or icy conditions. At the 0.7 mi. point, the Gunstock Mtn. Trail shortly bears right across a small stream bed, bears left at the end of a stone wall and then climbs steeply. At 0.8 mi., turn right just below a large, eroded ledge/boulder area.

The rapidity of measurement enables structural geologists, for 12 the first time, to enjoy the benefits of data redundancy and quantitative uncertainty es- 13 timates. Recent work, however, has called into question the reliability of sensors on An- 14 droid devices. We present here our experience with programming a new smart phone 15 app from scratch, and using it and commercial apps on iOS devices along with analog 16 compasses in a series of controlled tests and typical field use cases. Additionally, we 17 document the relationships between a iPhone measurements and visible structures in 18 satellite, drawing on a database of 3,700 iPhone measurements of coseismic surface 19 cracks we made in northern Chile following the Mw8.1 Pisagua earthquake in 2014. By 20 comparing phone-collected attitudes to orientations determined independently of the 21 magnetic field, we avoid having to assume that the analog compass, which is subject to 22 its own uncertainties, is the canonical instrument. Our results suggest that iOS devices *Corresponding author.
