摘要
The study of period and chronology of fault activity in major worksites in an area with exposed basement rocks is quite difficult. The authors have applied the combinative techniques of field investigation, microscopic observation and isotopic dating to studying the calcite veins filled in the fault zones in several major engineering regions and got successful results. The following conclusions are reached: (i) The last period of strong activity of fault F8 in the Tianshengqiao Hydropower Station, Nanpan River is 200 ka B. P. , and there has been, no obvious activity since 150 ka. (ii) The last period of strong activity for 5 faults in Shixiali Reservoir, Yangyuan County, Hebei Province is 200-300 ka B. P. , and there has been no obvious activity since 200 ka. The research results provide a sound basis of engineering geology for project designers.
