[ Update this Record ]

Summary
Abstract: The need for a better understanding of the seismic risk posed by active blind
faults is evident from recent damaging earthquakes in northern and southern
California, including the Coalinga 1983, Loma Prieta 1989, Petrolia 1992,
Northridge 1994, and Whitter Narrows 1987 events. These events are moderate
magnitude 6.5 to 7.1 and yet represent a substantial and costly hazard
(combined damage ... View entire text
