    Abstract

  • Pull-apart basins are extensional structures which are closely related to strike-slip faults. Pull-apart basins have received considerable attention from geologists because of its significant tectonic meaning and the associations with volcanism, earthquake swarms, and special mineralization. Although numerous studies have contributed to the current understanding of pull-apart basin evolution, pull-apart basin development concentrating on crack propagation and coalescence is lacking because of the limitations of the previous methods. A particle-based approach, which is based on Discrete Element Method (DEM), can be successfully used to simulate crack propagation during pull-apart basin development for pure strike-slip. Transtensional models are also set up to investigate basin development and crack propagation in transtentional systems, with different angles between the master strike-slip faults and the motion direction in each system. Modeling results are compared with natural examples worldwide such as the Dead Sea basin, Cinarcik basin in Marmara Sea, and El Paraiso basin in SW Colombia et al. This research provides new method and view to study the evolution of pull-apart basins and the propagation and coalescence of the related strike-slip faults.
