Great Sumatran fault system
• Strike-slip fault parallel to subduction
• Extension of 1900 km
• Highly segmented (19 segments)

Geodynamic setting
• Oblique convergence between Australian/Indian
and Sunda plates
• Sunda subduction zone

• Pull- apart basin between Sumani e Sianok segments
• Two earthquakes with Mw = 6,4
(Nakano et al., 2010)

• Stress increasing between segments in both cosismic and
intersismic periods
• Mohr-Coloumb failure criterion / Pore pressure
• ΔCFF = Δσs + μ(Δp − Δσn )

Conclusions
28/06/2017The Great Sumatran Fault System Pagina 13
• To the South disappears in the Strait of
Sunda
• Accommodates the oblique movement
between the Australian-Indian and Euro-
Asian plates
• To the north it connects to the
transform faults of the Andaman
extensional basin
• Earthquake magnitude between 6.5
and 7.6
• Highly segmented
• Slip rate of 20 mm/yr in the central region
and 10 mm/yr in the South
(P. Huchon, X. Le Pichon, 1984)
