Damage patterns, stress rotations and pore fluid pressures in strike-slip fault zones

Active faults unfavorably oriented with respect to the regional maximum compressive stress have been labeled as "weak." The seismic hazards posed by these faults make understanding this apparent weakness a priority. Stress rotations in these fault zones, together with an increase in mean s...
