Fault segmentation along the Ulsan Fault System based on criteria of segment type

단층분절을 정의하는 기준에 따른 울산단층의 분절화

The Ulsan Fault System continues from north of Gyeongju to Ulsan city, trending NNW-SSE and is about 50 km. Many Quaternary faults have been reported and investigated with outcrop observation. Lineaments have been extracted with aerial photograph interpretation and classified by their ranks. Trench excavations on the lineaments along Ulsan Fault System have been carried out to clarify the neotectonic movements and fault parameters such as the latest movement age, fault displacement, slip rate and recurrence interval. We have compiled data from previous studies on criteria of segment type such as lineament rank, seismicity, slip rate, and the latest fault movement. Based on these data, we tried to devide the Ulsan Fault System into several segments. The results of segmentation with each types of segment along the Ulsan Fault System did not show singular division point but overlapped or different length and location.
