Abstract
A classification of faults based on the type of mechanical failure involved is proposed. The types recognized are: (1) normal diagonal shears, (2) reverse diagonal shears, (3) horizontal faults, (4) tension faults, (5) lateral shears, and (6) vertical shears. The types are diagrammed and, with the exception of vertical shears, are described on the basis of actual occurrences.
