It's frequently not even the train company's fault; for example, if someone has been hit by a train or if a driver has been taken ill.
Possible flow barriers such as an impervious fault (for example, rendered impermeable due to clay smear and fault gauge) can also be included.
At the optimum frequency ( α = 2 ) for the fault, for example, |T| decreases by 0.045 for a 10% reduction in strength.
In the San Andreas Fault, for example, a stress rotation of approximately 28° with respect to the stress field of the rigid crust has been measured (Chéry et al. [2004]).
That 60 day rule tripped up so many taxpayers, that in 2001 Congress gave the IRS the ability to waive it, if the delay wasn't a taxpayer's fault —for example, his house was destroyed, or a financial advisor gave him bum advice about the time he had to do the rollover.
As shown in ~400 accelerograms recorded at free-field stations (Lee et al., 1999), stronger ground shaking appears clearly at regions well beyond the vicinity of the Chelungpu fault: for example, the Taipei metropolitan area, the Ilan plain, and some southwestern coastal regions.
The southernmost section of the San Andreas fault, for example, crosses more than 140 different transmission lines, according to the 2008 analysis.
The San Andreas fault, for example, suffered two major ruptures in the 19th century: a quake of about magnitude 7.5 in 1812 and a much worse, 7.9 temblor in 1857.
"The question now is whether the fire that caused the smoke was the result of an electrical fault — for example a short-circuit caused by damaged wiring — or whether some form of explosive or incendiary device was used — for example by a terrorist — to generate a fire or other damage," aviation safety expert David Learmont said.
