31 > conclusion 1. Discrete model of fault zone architecture: dependence of damage zone thickness from fault network geometry (curvature, stepovers) and lithology has been verified a new framework for damage zone characterization has been proposed (need to be further verified) damage zones around stepovers are highly fractured columns hydraulic conduits 2. Why a computer model of fault-zone architecture could be useful? visualization, understanding complex structures quantitative analysis of geometry (e.g. differential geometry) made easy build realistic model of geometry and properties that can be output to, and quantitatively compared to mechanical models, fluid flow models, etc.
