Synopsis

It is crucial to determine the fault locations in the microzoning studies in the seismically active regions. In such places, the fault characteristics, location and extensionare basis of the studies. It is easy to map this features if they are traced on the surface. However, it is difficult to tract them because of natural and artificial filling, settlement density, degradation and vegetation. In these cases, both geological and geophysical methods are employed and fracture zones can be mapped.
