Abstract

The 'Fault' has been common interests to the structural geologists, geotechnical engineers and civil engineers. The 'Fault' is very important factor to evaluate to the geotechnical stability. In this paper, geological origin and classification of faults with structural geological features are described. These geological characteristics of faults are useful to understand and detect of faults for engineering practice.
