Theory And Application Of Setback Distance From Active Faults, Wei Leiming, Xu Xiwei, Li Feng, Cao Jun, Ren Junjie, Cheng Jia, Zhang Xianbing, Jia Qichao, Chen Guihua, Wu Xiyan

Coal Geology & Exploration

Determining setbacks from active faults is the “last 1 km” from active fault surveys to their application to seismic disaster mitigation. It is also a technique for blocking the risk sources of earthquake-induced chains of geologic hazards. Field investigations and experimental studies have demonstrated that buildings and structures can be free from catastrophic destruction caused by coseismic ruptures and offset of active faults provided they are kept at a certain finite distance from the active fault traces. Therefore, determining setbacks from active faults serves as an ultimate goal of the surveys and precise localization of active faults. Based on the …
