The model inventory
and design specifications were established by a CFM working group,
which included representatives from the model's planned users (e.g.,
RELM project), from related database efforts (e.g. CGS, SCFAD), and
SCEC's IT program. The object-oriented, CAD-based model provides three-dimensional
representations of major strike-slip, blind-thrust, and reverse faults
in a precise geographic reference frame (latitudes from 32.5 degrees
N to 36 degrees N, longitudes from 114.5 degrees W to 120.5 degrees
W). Each fault is currently represented by a triangulated surface
in ASCII format (here),
with regularly gridded surfaces to be provided soon.
The model represents a list of "preferred" representations that
are extracted from a relational database, which is searchable
by users via a web-interface. The database contains a unique naming
and numbering system for each fault (based on the CGS system), as
well a various attributes including the fault type, slip rate (from
CGS and SCFAD), uncertainties, quality of representation, and key
references. Most faults have distinct interpolated and extrapolated
segments, and many have alternative representations. The coordinate
system of the fault data is the UTM projection at zone 11, datum
