Excerpt from Graphical Solution of Fault Problems
The methods that the geological engineer uses in the studv of ore deposits, have as yet received no satisfactory ex position in print, because of both the recentness of the development of this branch of engineering, and the extent of the subject, involving, as it does, the application of the methods of field geology, petrology, mineralogy, and the comparative study of ore deposits. It is not to be expected that the miner or engineer directing underground Operations can always be thoroughly versed in the broad science of ore deposits, but he must at least make a study of the details and peculiarities of the deposit he is developing. He should understand, not only the mapping of underground work ings, but of the structural features of the lode as well. If the structure is accurately plotted, the relation of the ore deposit to the same should become plain; the application of the methods of descriptive geometry becomes easy; and the developments may be carried ou, not under the guidance of the miner's 'nose for ore,' but in accordance With the struc ture of the deposit. Thus a permanent record of the geology is kept that may mean much When portions of the mine become inaccessible.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book reframes the way we think about and study geological phenomena related to fault movements. The author introduces innovative graphical methods for examining and interpreting displacement data in order to reconstruct the details of fault movement patterns. The book shows how to identify and describe fault movement both in a vertical plane and on a horizontal plane, as well as the pivotal fault motion that combines aspects of both. Each concept is illustrated through a series of solved problems providing a step-by-step visual explanation. The innovative methods in this collection, developed by the author and his assistants over years of study and practice, allow for the detailed documentation and analysis of natural fault data to supplement the more general geological methods in use today. This enables a more in-depth and precise understanding of the phenomena that shape and reshape the world around us. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
