G.E. Brethauer 1968 <p>Dislocation theory is used in an analysis that explains measured vertical displacements across a fault near the Duryea underground nuclear explosion. The difference between the measured vertical displacement and the theoretically predicted vertical displacement caused by cavity formation is termed the residual vertical displacement. The residual vertical displacement is, therefore, assumed to be the result of faulting triggered by the explosion.</p> application/pdf 10.3133/ofr6820 en U.S. Geological Survey Application of dislocation theory to analysis of vertical displacements at the ground surface caused by the Duryea event reports
