Abstract: | The closed-form analytic expressions for the displacement and stresses at any point of an elastic layer lying over a base
due to a very long vertical strike-slip dislocation are obtained. The interface between the layer and the base is assumed
to be either ‘smooth-rigid’ or ‘rough-rigid’ or ‘welded’. The variations of displacement and stresses with the horizontal
distance from the fault for different types of coupling of the layer with the base have been studied. It is found that the
displacement for ‘welded interface’ lies between the displacements due to ‘smooth rigid’ and ‘rough-rigid’ interfaces for
different positions of the observer and different values of the ratio of rigidities of the layer and half-space. |
