A heuristic approach to structural consistency of a horizon surface with tectonic faults based on Mallet’s discrete model *

Model and algorithm for constructing a horizon surface in the vicinity of a single fault

Three-dimensional stability analysis of fault-controlled slopes using a column-based composite slip-surface framework

3D models from geological maps: strengths and weaknesses from the Pasubio Massif (Southern Alps)

3D geological models provide digital representations of subsurface architecture and are increasingly applied in both academic research and industry. Their construction can follow implicit or explicit approaches, depending on data availability and final modelling applications. While 3D models based on subsurface data ar...

Application of Tectonic-Physical Approach for Construction of Tectonic Model of the Deeply-Buried Complexes

Recent publications on oil and gas tectonics note the extreme “eclecticism” of the terminology used in the tectonic zoning of the sedimentary basin and surrounding structures, in describing the stage of formation, tectonic conditions, and typification of different-scale discontinuous and plicate structures. The existin...
