Effects of Barriers on Fault Rupture Process and Strong Ground Motion Based on Various Friction Laws

A barrier may induce a supershear rupture on a fault. This paper focuses on two questions: One is whether the existence of a barrier accelerates the propagation speed of a whole fault rupture, and the other is what are the effects of friction laws and strength of a barrier on the rupture propagation...
