PrefacePart I: Introduction to Structural GeologyChapter 1: The Nature of Structural Geology and StructuresPrelude: Moines Thrust What is Structural Geology? What are geologic structures? How do we understand geologic structures? Why this book? Let�s go!Chapter 2: Getting Started in Structural AnalysisPrelude: Taiwan Track Recognizing structures�and Thinking Like a Structural Geologist Defining structural geometries Using Basic Strain Concepts Using Basic Stress Concepts Rheology, Geomechanics, and Rock Failure Brittle vs ductile regimes Regional tectonics and structural settings Putting Structural Analysis to WorkPart II: Brittle DeformationChapter 3: Fractures and JointsPrelude: The Burren Entering the World of Fracturing Overview of Fractures and Fracture-Related Structures Field-based Fracture Analysis Properties of Joints in Outcrops Examining Whole Systems of FracturesChapter 4: Joints and the Mechanics of Opening-mode FracturingPrelude: Rock Strength Tests, and Teaching Road Map Stress-Strain Primer Creating Opening-mode Fractures in the Laboratory Microcracks and Tensile Failure Monitoring Microcracking and Fracturing Failure Criteria, i.e. Laws of Failure Fluid Pressure and the Development of Opening-mode Fractures Moving Forward to the Next ChapterChapter 5: Interpreting Regional Fracture SystemsPrelude: Cleats in Coalbeds, Western Pennsylvania Some Background Analysis of Primary Fracturing in Igneous Rocks Analysis of Stylolites and Associated Veins in Limestone Analysis of Jointin in Near-flat Lying Sedimentary Strata Analyzing od Jointing Associated with Large Individual Folds Analyzing of Joint Swarms and Fracture Corridors Analysis of Sheeting Joints, Fissures, and CraqueluresChapter 6: Faults and Fault ZonesPrelude: Kuparuk River Field Recognizing Faults Individual Faults Fault Sets and Populations Fault Segments and Relays Fault Initiation and Growth Fault Zones and Fault Rocks Fault Displacements and Strain Practical Aspects of FaultsChapter 7: The Mechanics of FaultingPrelude: Reactivating Faults in the Lab The Fault Mechanics Mission Setting the Stage: Brittle Shear Failure The Mechanics of Shear Failure The Mechanics of Shear Reactivation The Mechanics of Thrust Faults ApplicationsChapter 8: Interpreting Fault SystemsPrelude: Non-traditional Normal Faults at Chimney Rock The Significance of Systems of Faults Regional Fault Systems Reverse Fault Systems Normal Fault Systems Strike-slip Fault Systems Coupled Fault Systems Multi-phase Fault Systems Other FaultsChapter 9: Folds Prelude: The Sanctuary of Zeus Recognizing Folds Basic Fold Types and Forms Geometric Analysis of Folds Folds and Strain Practical Aspects of FoldsChapter 10: The Mechanics and Kinematics of Folding and Fold-Fault InteractionsPrelude: Curvy Monoclines, Deep Faults, and Fracture Patterns Fold Kinematics and Mechanics Buckling Fault-related Folds and Forced Folding Fault Bend Folds Fault-propagation Folds Detachment Folds Listric Normal Faults and Hanging Wall Folds Folds (and Faults) Related to Salt and Shale�and Magma Depositional Patterns Related to Faulting and Folding Structural Balance of Folds and FaultsChapter 11: Interpreting Folds and Fault-Fold SystemsPrelude: Eastern Uinta Mountains Fault-fold Habitats and Systems Reverse Fault-fold Systems Normal Fault-fold Systems Strike-slip Fault-fold Systems Coupled Fault-fold Systems Multi-phase Fault Systems Salt Systems Other Fault-Fold SystemsPart III: Ductile DeformationChapter 12: Foliation, Lineation, and Shear ZonesRecognizing foliation and lineation Foliation Cleavage and ductile folds Lineation Geometric analysis of foliation and lineation Shear Zones Recognizing shear zones Types of shear zones Sense of shear Strain in shear zones Strain and fabric developmentChapter 13: The Formation of Foliation, Lineation, and Shear ZonesMetamorphic fabrics and strain and processes Crustal strength profiles Mechanics of foliation and lineation Strain analysis in shear zonesChapter 14: Interpreting Structural Fabrics and Shear ZonesAnalysis of metamorphic tectonites Analysis of shear zones Regional �high grade� systemsPart IV: Tectonics and Structural SystemsChapter 15: Active Tectonics and Structural GeologyPrelude: The Denali Fault Active Tectonics and Active Kinematics Western United States The San Andreas Fault The Los Angeles Basin The Eastern California Shear Zone The Basin and Range The Wasatch Front Baja California and the Sea of Cortez Rift Alaska What Came BeforeChapter 16: SummaryWhat have we learned? Structures, systems, and tectonics Structural geology and other disciplines Structural geology and society Closing thoughtsPart V: Practical Methods for Structural AnalysisChapter 17: Descriptive and Geometric AnalysisObjectives and methods Geologic mapping Mapping contact relationships Recognizing primary structures Measuring the orientations of structures Studying faults in the field Studying folds in the field Studying shear zones in the field Interpreting structures in the subsurface Geologic cross sections and validation Structure contour maps Orthographic projection Stereonets�projecting and plotting lines and planes Stereonets�angles and rotations Stereonets�data sets and statisticsChapter 18: Kinematic AnalysisObjectives and methods Mohr diagrams for strain Determining strain from structural systemsChapter 19: Dynamic AnalysisObjectives and methods Relating faults to principal stress directions Relating joints to stress and mechanics Determining focal mechanisms for earthquakes
