9780331751536: Graphical Solution of Fault Problems (Classic Reprint)

Synopsis

Master the graphical solutions to fault problems in mining and geology.

This non-fiction guide presents practical, step-by-step methods for mapping and solving faults on planes, with an emphasis on clear, graphic reasoning you can apply in real work sites.

This edition distills Tolman’s approach to the common faults encountered in ore deposits. It covers how to represent fault planes, translate or rotate movement, and interpret projections to reveal the true relationships underground. The focus is on elementary problems that build a solid foundation for accurate fault analysis and record-keeping.
  • How to identify and measure fault movement on different projection planes.
  • How to use vertical, orthographic, stereogrammatic, and isometric projections to solve problems.
  • How to determine total and normal displacements, with clear construction steps.
  • How to visualize complex movements, including rotations about poles combined with translation.
Ideal for students and professionals in mining, geology, and engineering who need practical, graphic methods to interpret faulting and ore continuity.
