Item Rango de Magnitudes de esfuerzos tectónicos en una zona intraplaca: el macizo de El Berrocal, borde sur del Sistema Central Español(Geogaceta, 2002) Martín Velázquez, Silvia; Vicente Muñoz, Gerardo de; Muñoz Martín, Alfonso; Elorza Tenreiro, Francisco Javier; Vela Guzmán, AntonioStress magnitudes throughout a NW-SE cross-section in El Berrocal granitic massif (Spanish Central System) have been analysed by means of finite element modelling. Topographic surface, lithological differences and recent compressive tectonic stresses have been inc!uded. Two kinds of models have been performed to study the influence of rheologic properties, one with average cortical mechanical properties and the other with the main lithologies. Horizontal tectonic stress magnitudes obtained in the last model have been checked with the recent stress ratio got by stress inversion of fault slip data. Horizontal tectonic load that better fits recent tectonic stress distribution is in the range of 10-15 MPa.Item Características de los tensores de esfuerzos activos entre la Dorsal Centroatlántica y la Península Ibérica(Geotemas, 2000) Vicente Muñoz, Gerardo de; Martín Velázquez, Silvia; Rodríguez Pascua, Miguel Angel; Muñoz Martín, Alfonso; Arcila, M.; Andeweg, BerndThe orientation of the principal stresses and the principal stress difference ratio has been determined along the southwestern boundary of the Euroasiatic plate with Northamerican and African plates by inversion method of focal mechanisms of earthquakes. The ridge push (30~ to 65Q N) ranges from E-W to ESE-WSW, with R values that show a triaxial extensional stress. The state of stress changes to strike-slip regime in the transform fault zones, and the Shmax strike turns clockwise to NW in the dextral strike-slip faults and counterclockwise to the NE in the sinistral ones. Along the margin between the Euroasiatic-African plates, from the Azores triple junction to Algeria, Shmax keeps a constant NW-SE strike but the stress ratio values range from triaxial extensional stress state, to the West, to uniaxial compresive stress state, to the East, passing through a strike-slip regime in the middle zone. In this context and with a widely NWSE Shmax, strike-slip and extensional stresses prevail in most Iberian peninsula, whereas southwards it is dominated by uniaxial compresive stresses.Item Características de los tensores de esfuerzos activos entre la Dorsal Centroatlántica y la Península Ibérica.(Geotemas, 2000) Vicente Muñoz, Gerardo de; Martín Velázquez, Silvia; Rodríguez Pascua, Miguel Angel; Muñoz Martín, Alfonso; Arcila, M.; Andeweg, BerndThe orientation of the principal stresses and the principal stress difference ratio has been determined along the southwestern boundary of the Euroasiatic plate with Northamerican and African plates by inversion method of focal mechanisms of earthquakes.
