华北板块南缘石人山岩块晚古生代陆内变形特征及侧向挤出构造

华北板块南缘在古生代时期经历了复杂的陆内变形过程。石人山岩块边界断裂发育大量平行于断裂带的A型褶皱和近水平的矿物生长线理,表明其经历了以走滑剪切变形为主的构造阶段。动力学研究表明石人山岩块具有南西向逆冲的运动学特征,其南侧洛南—栾川断裂带（洛栾断裂带）以左行剪切变形为主,北东侧鲁山断裂带以北西向逆冲兼有右行剪切变形为特征,夹于其中的石人山岩块显示为向西、向上挤出的特征。选择典型岩石样品进行同位素测年来限定断裂活动的时代,其中,洛栾断裂带内同构造花岗岩脉的锆石U- Pb定年结果为413. 6±7. 4 Ma,鲁山断裂带内走滑剪切特征明显的构造透镜体内变形岩石的锆石定年结果为419. 3±11. 2 Ma。虽然洛栾断裂与鲁山断裂的运动方向不同,但是同位素年代学研究限定了两条断裂带发生走滑变形的时间都是晚古生代泥盆纪末期,从而共同构成了石人山岩块整体向西挤出的构造特征,同时也表明,相互碰撞的大陆在碰撞之后将很快转变为以平行造山带侧向挤出与走滑位移为主的陆内变形演化阶段。     

走滑拉分盆地中断裂发育特征的二维离散元数值模拟

走滑断裂带的发育演化过程与拉分盆地的形成演化有着密切的关系,主断层不同叠置范围下所发育的次级断裂及拉分盆地具不同的规模及形态。前人多利用物理模拟对走滑拉分盆地演化过程及断裂发育特征进行研究,缺乏对盆地演化过程中断裂变形特征分析及主断层不同叠置程度下断裂演变规律的探讨。本文基于离散元计算软件PFC2D,模拟了拉分盆地演化过程中走滑主断层在未叠置（underlapping）、侧接（neutral）、叠置（overlapping）三种情况下断裂的几何形态变化特征及其平面演变规律。结果表明拉分盆地断裂发育经历了从走滑主断层端点处向释压弯曲内部发育、再向外部扩展的过程,且无论走滑主断层叠置程度如何,该规律均有较好体现。此外,断裂发育位置与拉伸区域叠合度高,表明断裂的发育规律对拉分盆地的沉降中心迁移或具有重要指示意义。     

青藏高原北部晚第四纪应力场在遥感影像上的响应

青藏高原北部发育一系列北西向大型左行走滑断裂带,目前普遍认为这些左行走滑断裂至今仍在活动,在左行走滑作用下,青藏高原东部向东挤出并伴随强烈的地块旋转运动。本文以介于东昆仑左行走滑断裂带与玉树左行走滑断裂带之间的巴颜喀拉山中央断裂（及其周缘的构造形迹）为主要研究对象,根据断层构造的直接解译标志——清晰的线性形迹和构造地貌标志如断层陡坎、断层谷地、挤压脊、地裂缝、断层走滑造成的水系错动、新老洪积扇的侧向叠加等,在高分辨率的SPOT5及中等分辨率ETM遥感影像上对研究区内北西向活动断层与北东向活动断层的空间分布、规模、活动性质、相对活动时代及活动幅度等进行了遥感分析和野外验证,并结合对断层周缘沿共轭张裂隙展布的水系与地裂缝的规模、展布方向等的统计分析,对晚第四纪应力场进行了恢复。研究表明:北西向活动断层具右行走滑兼有逆冲运动特征,北东向活动断层具左行走滑兼有正滑运动特征,二者为晚第四纪NNE向（2°）挤压应力条件下产生的北西向与北东向走滑作用的产物。北西向右行走滑作用的发现,预示着青藏高原北部第四纪以来普遍存在的北西向左行走滑作用可能在晚更新世就已终止。在此基础上,探讨了处于不同展布方向上的湖盆在同一应力条件下表现出的不同演化趋势:即在NNE向挤压应力作用下,呈北东向展布的错坎巴昂日东湖处于近东西向拉张状态,呈北西向展布的卡巴纽尔多湖变化不明显。     

走滑断层相关源-汇体系演化的砂箱物理模拟实验

以走滑断层为边界的隆升剥蚀区和山前沉积区组合是盆山体系的重要类型之一。由于走滑断层两盘不断发生相对滑动,因此走滑断层两侧的源区和沉积区之间的空间关系随走滑运动不断发生变化。走滑断层两侧的源-汇系统之间的耦合机制是一个有待研究的问题。针对这一问题,本文设计了一个简化的构造地貌砂箱实验,用来揭示源区特定母岩的沉积物分布特征以及两者之间的时空关系。实验结果表明,特定母岩在沉积区的沉积信号分布范围受包括山前洪积扇形态、岩体在流域内的分布等多种因素影响。由于洪积扇向沉积区呈扇状展开的形态特征,沉积信号在离走滑断层更远的位置分布范围更宽。当一个岩体分布在不同流域内时,其沉积物分布在两个洪积扇内,从而使其沉积信号分布范围更宽。相反,规模较小的洪积扇会被相邻较大的洪积扇限制形态从而使得沉积范围变窄。由于上述原因,在利用沉积信号和岩体之间的错开距离计算获得的走滑速率,可能会低估或者高估真实的走滑速率。本文的实验为研究以走滑断层为边界的盆山耦合系统及其源-汇体系提供了重要的模型参考。

阿尔金断裂东段的构造转换模式

大型走滑断裂控制着青藏高原的变形,众多学者通过阿尔金断裂来探索青藏高原北部的构造变形过程。基于野外调查和前人的研究结果可知阿尔金断裂的滑动速率在肃北—疏勒河口段表现为三联点两侧的突降,祁连山西段的逆冲和走滑断裂吸收了阿尔金断裂的左旋位移。由于祁连山内部次级断裂活动性的增强,现存阿尔金断裂连续地表破裂终止于酒泉盆地西侧,但位于其东侧的断裂系仍属于阿尔金断裂。在Kohistan岛弧与欧亚板块碰撞之后,青藏高原沿阿尔金断裂曾发生滑动速率近一致的侧向挤出,断裂两侧此时并未发生明显的隆起。随后东昆仑造山带和祁连山造山带的先后大规模隆升,高原的北东向挤出迅速减弱。阿尔金断裂北东向挤出能力与东昆仑造山带和祁连山造山带的隆起存在明显的耦合作用。     

南美奥连特前陆盆地斜坡带低幅度构造形成物理模拟

奥连特盆地是一个位于南美安第斯山前的弧后前陆盆地,盆地东部斜坡带发育大量低幅度构造,并与油气有密切关系。为明确奥连特盆地东部斜坡带低幅度构造的形成过程及其主控因素,深入分析了低幅度构造的发育特征,针对性地开展了构造物理模拟实验研究。结果表明,奥连特盆地东部斜坡带低幅度构造主要与逆断层、反转断层和走滑断层相伴生,一般位于断层上盘,控制其发育的动力学机制主要是断层的正反转作用和走滑作用,而且先存正断层向深部变缓,有利于断层后期的反转以及低幅度构造的发育。     

渤海走滑断裂对古近系源－汇体系的控制作用

走滑断裂在渤海海域广泛分布,深刻影响着沉积盆地的形成与演化,同时也深刻影响着源－汇体系的形成和演化.在对渤海海域大量钻井资料和地震资料分析的基础上,认为走滑断裂对渤海古近系源－汇体系的控制作用主要表现在:走滑断裂压扭作用控制了局部物源体系的形成;走滑断裂的张扭作用控制了沟谷低地的形成;走滑断裂的水平运动控制源－汇体系的横向迁移.走滑断裂带源－汇体系发育模式十分复杂,渤海古近系常见的主要有S型走滑断裂带源－汇体系模式、叠覆型走滑断裂带源－汇体系模式、帚状走滑断裂带源－汇体系模式、共轭走滑带源－汇体系模式.开展走滑断裂带源－汇体系特征及其控砂模式的探讨,对含油气盆地的储层预测具有重要的意义.      

Stress,strain and fault patterns

If faulting is treated as a stress-controlled phenomenon, the generation of a single fault set, or two sets in conjugate arrangement are inevitably predicted implying plane strain. Alternatively, considering faulting as a strain-controlled process, multiple-set patterns can be predicted. The analysis of multiple-set patterns requires identifying the type of fault pattern from four possibilities: Coulomb, isolated, orthorhombic and complex fault patterns.There are techniques that permit a unique solution of strain tensor for Coulomb and orthorhombic fault patterns. For isolated fault patterns, the principal paleostress directions could be used to approximate the principal strain directions. In this case, we need to assume a homogeneous stress field, independence between faults, and parallelism between shear stress and slip vector on the sliding plane.For complex fault patterns, it is not possible to uniquely determine the total strain tensor without knowledge of all the slip planes. Furthermore, inverting fault-slip data to determine the stress tensor is not correct because the assumptions of the inversion methods are not satisfied. Only a rough approximation is possible assuming that strain produced by major faults represents the total strain tensor.     

Incorporation of incomplete fault-slip data into stress tensor inversion

A fault-slip datum used in the stress tensor inversion techniques is composed of fault orientation, slip orientation and the sense of slip. Sometimes the latter two items are not available. This paper proposes a method to deal with such incomplete fault-slip data. Firstly, the constraints on stress state from full and incomplete data are theoretically specified. The admissible stresses are expressed by the probability distributions in the parameter space. The objective function of inversion is given by superposing the probability distributions for all data including full and incomplete ones. Finally, the peaks of the objective function are detected to enumerate possible solutions. The validity of the present method is tested by simulated data. The incorporation of incomplete data can enhance the detectability of stress states and expands the applicability of stress tensor inversion.     

秦岭构造带徽成盆地白垩纪-新生代构造应力场演化历史

沿凤-太断裂带发育的徽成盆地斜切秦岭构造带,成为东、西秦岭构造地貌的分界带。该盆地由上部成县群和下部东河群2套地层序列组成,之间为角度不整合接触。基于沉积地层序列、野外断层滑动矢量运动学分析和古构造应力场反演,结合上部成县群磁性地层学的研究结果和基性岩脉的年代测试结果,确定了该盆地2期伸展断陷成盆阶段和3期构造挤压改造的交替演化历史。认为下部盆地形成于早白垩世时期(107Ma之前),成盆应力场为NWW- SEE引张,与东西向勉略断裂带左旋走滑拉分作用有关,其中加积了一套河湖相砂砾岩沉积。该走滑盆地在沉积晚期遭受NW- SE向挤压应力作用,控盆边界断层发生反转,地层发生宽缓的褶皱变形,基性岩脉侵位其中(107Ma)。上部新生的断陷盆地很可能形成于早白垩世晚期-晚白垩世(自107Ma以来),受NW- SE引张作用,沿凤-太断裂带发生复活,其中堆积了一套河流相红色砂泥岩和砂砾岩沉积地层。该断陷盆地遭受2次挤压应力场的改造:早期NNW- SSE向挤压、晚期NNE- SSW向挤压,这两期挤压作用使控盆边界断裂(凤太断裂、勉略断裂)发生构造反转,地层陡倾,但盆地内部变形较弱。与区域构造演化历史对比,认为这两期挤压应力作用分别发生在白垩纪晚期与古近纪。     

依兰-伊通断裂新构造活动规律分析

作为郯庐断裂带北段主干的依兰-伊通断裂, 其新构造活动性与活动规律仍然存在不同的认识.本次工作通过详细的野外调查, 发现该断裂内活断层广泛存在, 由东、西两支北东走向的主干活断层构成, 沿着古近纪地堑边界断层发育.这些活断层主要呈破碎型结构, 多为逆右行平移活动.通过对这些活断层一系列实测擦痕反演应力场, 显示它们多是在东西向挤压中活动的, 而现今应力场转变为北东东-南西西向区域性挤压.依据本次野外观察与¹⁴ C定年, 并结合前人定年结果与近代地震分布, 表明依兰-伊通西支活断层的最新活动时代为全新世与晚更新世相间, 而东支活断层的最新活动时代主要为早-中更新世.依兰-伊通断裂内活断层显示了明显的差异性活动, 表现为西支的活动强度明显大于东支, 西支的最新活动时代皆晚于东支, 沿走向上活动性强、弱相间与最新活动时代不断变化, 以及近代地震活动不均一分布.它们沿走向上的分段性、差异性活动主要是因为被一系列北西向断层切断所致.     

青藏高原北缘三危山断裂晚第四纪以来的逆冲运动及其深部构造特征

三危山断裂为阿尔金断裂带东段的重要分支,位于青藏高原北缘北向扩展的前缘位置,为一条左旋走滑兼逆冲的活动断裂。通过卫片解译和野外实际调查,发现三危山主断裂穿过鸣沙山后,向西至党河水库及阳关镇附近以断层陡坎的形式出露地表。由阳关镇段向西至党河水库段,穿过鸣沙山至三危山主断裂,断层陡坎的形态由复杂变简单,落差基本集中于2～6m,但呈现逐渐减小的趋势,水平位移量也逐渐变小,反映了断裂活动强度由西向东逐渐减弱的特点。探槽和剖面解译结果显示,该段断裂错断下更新统玉门组（Qp1）砂岩和砾岩、中更新统酒泉组（Qp2）砂砾石层以及上更新统（Qp3）冲洪积砂砾石层。卫片解译、野外实地调查和深部大地电磁（MT）剖面的解译结果表明,南截山断裂向西在莫高窟南侧与三危山断裂交汇,二者在深部向阿尔金断裂收敛,上述三条断裂共同构成区域挤压性非对称半正花状构造。高原北缘的扩展是通过一系列北东-南西向走滑断裂活动及其所夹地块向北东运动和挤压实现。     

Predictive Modeling of the Evolution of Fault Structure: 3-D Modeling and Coupled Geomechanical/Flow Simulation

Reconstruction of geological structures has the potential to provide additional insight into the effect of the depositional history on the current-day geomechanical and hydro-geologic state. Accurate modeling of the reconstruction process is, however, complex, necessitating advanced procedures for the prediction of fault formation and evolution within fully coupled geomechanical, fluid flow and temperature fields. In this paper, a 3-D computational approach is presented that is able to forward model complex structural evolution with multiple intersecting faults that exhibit large relative movement within a coupled geomechanical/flow environment. The approach adopts the Lagrangian method, complemented by robust and efficient automated adaptive meshing techniques, an elasto-plastic constitutive model based on critical state concepts, and global energy dissipation regularized by inclusion of fracture energy in the equations governing state variable evolution. The proposed model is validated by comparison of 2-D plane strain and 3-D thin-slice predictions of a bench-scale experiment, and then applied to two conceptual coupled geomechanical/fluid flow field-scale benchmarks.     

塔里木盆地塔中Ⅰ号构造带分段变形的运动学特征与成因探讨

塔里木盆地塔中Ⅰ号构造带在构造样式、活动强度等方面表现出明显的分段性,但分段变形的运动学特征与成因仍不够明确,需要开展进一步研究。本文利用二维、三维地震资料,通过精细构造解析、运动学参数统计、活动期次厘定等手段,研究了塔中Ⅰ号构造带的几何学、运动学特征,分析其分段变形机制,并讨论了分段控制因素。研究表明:以中古15井与中古21井位置为界,塔中Ⅰ号构造带构造样式、运动学特征主要呈三段的特点,西段主要活动机制是断裂短距离滑动逆冲和地层旋转变形,同一层位的落差/垂直断距(H/h)值最大;中段为断裂沿走向滑动,H/h值约为1;东段为断裂长距离滑动逆冲和强烈褶皱,H/h值介于二者之间。活动机制的差异导致各段构造样式分别为基底卷入逆冲断裂控制的断层传播褶皱、走滑断裂发育的断控坡折、逆冲断裂强烈活动控制的断块褶皱,且活动强度呈现东段最大、西段次之、中段较小的特点。两大造山带分期活动是塔中Ⅰ号构造带分段变形的发育背景,基底结构与先存断裂是造成分段的主控因素,NE向走滑断裂调节塔中Ⅰ号构造带差异逆冲变形,并作为伴生断裂发育。     

Structural similarity and variety at the tips in a wide range of strike–slip faults: a review

Strike–slip faults are often accompanied by a variety of structures, particularly at their tips. The zones of additional fracturing are classified as tip‐damage zones. These zones can be subdivided into several different damage patterns based on the nature and orientation of faults and fractures developed. Damage zones at the ends of small strike–slip faults (mode II tips) develop wing cracks, horsetail splays, antithetic faults, synthetic branch faults and solution surfaces. Similar tip‐damage patterns are also commonly observed at larger (regional) scales, but with a dominance of faulting over tensile cracks and solution surfaces. Wing cracks and horsetail splays developed at small‐scale faults are replaced by normal faults in large‐scale faults. Antithetic faults and synthetic branch faults are observed at small and large scales. Thrust faults are developed at large scales, in a similar pattern to solution surfaces at a small scale. All these structures may show slightly different angular relationships to the master fault at small and large scale, but develop in response similar stress distribution and mechanics around the fault. Thus, mode II tip‐damage zones show similar patterns over a wide range of fault scales.     

TR method (TRM): A separation and stress inversion method for heterogeneous fault-slip data driven by Andersonian extensional and compressional stress regimes

The recently proposed TR method (TRM) which uses the slip preference of the faults to separate heterogeneous fault-slip data in extensional and compressional Andersonian stress regimes, is enhanced so as to determine stress tensors with the use of the Wallace–Bott slip criterion. Published natural fault-slip data from the extensional region of Tympaki, Crete, Greece and artificial fault-slip data modeled from the Chelungpu thrust, activated during the 1999 Chi–Chi earthquake in Taiwan, have been used as case studies. In the first case, the fault-slip data previously considered as homogeneous might actually be of heterogeneous origin as they determine two distinct stress tensors that both fit well with the neotectonic faulting deformation of the region. In the second case, where the fault-slip data belonging to three different subsets are of low diversity, the TRM succeeds in defining the driving stress tensors. The Misfit Angle minimization criterion can adequately separate the fault-slip data between two subsets when the percentage of the “Stress Tensor Discriminator Faults” is higher than approximately 70%.     

Using fault displacement and slip tendency to estimate stress states

We suggest that faults in high slip tendency orientations tend to develop larger displacements than other faults. Consequently, faults that accumulate larger displacements are more likely to be reliable indicators of the longer term stress field and should be weighted accordingly in paleostress estimation. Application of a stress inversion technique that uses slip tendency analyses and fault displacements to interpret populations of coherent normal faults within the Balcones Fault System of south-central Texas provides stress estimates that are consistent with established regional stress analyses. Although the method does not require measurement of slip directions, these data, where available, and sensitivity analyses of the angular mismatch between measured slip directions and those predicted by inverted stress states provide high confidence in the stress estimates generated using slip tendency analyses. Close inspection of the fault orientation and displacement data further indicates that subpopulations of faults with orientations different from the regional pattern have formed in response to stress perturbations generated by displacement gradients on an adjacent seismic scale fault.     

Faults in the Baikal region: morphostructural and structure-genetic features (case study of the Buguldeika fault junction)

Lineament analysis is applied to map the pattern of the Obruchev fault system in the Buguldeika Village area, where several fault zones (Olkhon, Primorsky, Prikhrebtovyi, Buguldeika, and Kurtun) make up a junction. As inferred from the predominant directions of genetically related lineaments, the Olkhon, Primorsky, and Prikhrebtovyi faults originated under NW-SE extension and compression. The extension and compression settings within these zones are reconstructed by analysis of lineaments that have prominent and poor geomorphic expression, respectively. However, the pattern of lineaments well expressed in the surface topography within a weakly deformed block corresponds to reverse slip, while that of poorly pronounced lineaments corresponds to left-lateral strike slip. The study confirms the idea that the latest extension (rifting) stage in the Baikal region reactivated fault zones but did not deform blocks. The blocks store record of residual deformation produced by previous settings of regional compression and shear. The obtained results agree with earlier tectonophysical analysis of faults and fractures in the area and prove the applicability of the suggested approach to map the fault patterns and reconstruct their respective stress settings in areas that underwent multiple deformation events of different ages.
