Abstract
The geometry of hinterland-dipping duplex structures, produced by deformation over several successive ramp faults, can be explored using composite kinematic and mechanical models which were developed to describe the deformation in the vicinity of an isolated ramp. The composite kinematic model permits the relationships between ramp height, angle, spacing, and displacement to be calculated. A special case of hinterland-dipping duplex structures, approximately flat-topped structures, require a specific amount of displacement that depends on ramp angle, height, and spacing. The requirement is very sensitive to final ramp spacing, and relatively insensitive to displacement.
