Correlations Of Fault Rock Constitutive Properties Derived From Laboratory Retrieved Data Of The North-Eastern Block Of The Southern San Andreas Fault, Mecca Hills, Ca Via Computational Analysis., Ryan M. Lee
Physics Capstone Projects
We aim to characterize fault-structure-related rocks via correlation between the various geophysical characteristics of samples retrieved from the southern San Andreas Fault (SSAF) near the Mecca Hills region in Southern California. Samples from this area were retrieved from the San Andreas Fault Observatory at Depth (SAFOD) near Parkfield, California at a depth of approximately 3km. Core samples of various lithologies were gathered from the borehole and analyzed using various geophysical methods. Emphasis was placed in possible correlations and relationships between varying lithologies and calculated values of unconfined compressional strength (UCS) and cohesion. Using retrieved data from the samples, as well …
