A note on permanent ground dislocation due to a strike-slip fault in an alluvial valley with functionally varying material properties

Key Points

• Permanent ground dislocation occurs due to a strike-slip fault, affecting the surrounding land.
• Key evidence shows significant changes in land structure that could impact local infrastructure.
• Geotechnical analysis focused on an alluvial valley with varying material properties to understand dislocation effects.
• Findings suggest the need for improved building guidelines in areas at risk of similar geological events.
