Tectonic sites: structuring the landscape with textile-derived construction techniques
Tectonic theory has a rich tradition in architecture. Tectonics can be briefly defined as the “poetics of construction” (Frampton, 2001). Discussion of tectonics has guided architects toward expressive construction and even pushed the discipline to redefine itself as one concerned with the creation …

Finite-element modeling of large impact craters: Implications for the size of the Vredefort structure and the formation of multiple ring craters
… of crater collapse to investigate the ring-tectonic theory of multiple ring crater formation. The results of these models indicate that the ring-tectonic theory is consistent with the formation of circumferential faults around large terrestrial impact craters such as Chicxulub. The final …
