Description
Los estudios de zonas de daño a lo largo de fallas son de gran importancia en la migración de hidrocarburos y potenciales acuíferos, además de que sirven para predecir la estabilidad de taludes en el campo de la geotecnia. Es posible obtener una apreciación de la complejidad de una zona de daño por fallas a través de un estudio cuidadoso de las estructuras en aforamientos. Estas estructuras pueden ser descritas en términos de Topografía, Topología y Simetría.
Numerosos estudios han estado comúnmente sesgados a fallas normales y fallas de rumbo, así, los resultados aquí obtenidos diferen sustancialmente en términos de orientación y estilo. La falla estudiada tiene un desplazamiento máximo de aproximadamente 16 m, una longitud aproximada de 400 m, y una zona de daño de aproximada 100 m en el bloque colgante.
Palabras clave: Cartografía detallada, Diaclasas, Zonas de daño, Fallas de Cabalgamiento.
The studies of fault damage zone have great importance in the hydrocarbon migration and potentials aquifers, besides they serve to predict the stability of slopes in the feld of geotechnical studies. It is posible to obtain an appreciation about the complexity of a damage zone produced by faults, through a careful study of the structures in outcrops. These structures can be described in terms of Topography, Topology and Symmetry. Numerous studies have been commonly slanted to normal faults and strike - slip faults, thus, the results here obtanied differ substantially in terms of orientation and style. The studied fault has a maximum displacement of about 16 m, approximated length of 400 m, and one damage zone of approximately 100 m in the hanging wall block. Keywords: Detailed Mapping, Joints, Damage Zone, Thrust Faults.
