Taiwan Chelungpu-fault Drilling Project (TCDP) had conducted continuous coring and logging in two holes 40m apart to
investigate the rupture mechanism in the north segment of 1999 Taiwan Chi-Chi earthquake. Across two holes, three fault zones
can be correlated by visual core description and logging interpretation, such as Fault Zone at 1111m depth of Hole-A
(FZA1111) can be correlated to FZB1137, FZA1153 to FZB 1194, FZA1222 to FZB1243. All three fault zones have characters of
reverse faulting. This observation triggered the issue of the duplex existence in the drill site.
These fault zones are obviously identified on the core examination and observed at locations with the similar pattern of
lithology column, regarding to the grain size and formation thickness. By logging interpretation, the special log character
of a resistivity anomaly, a slow sonic anomaly and deformation image in Fullbore Formation Microimage (FMI) is detected
around FZA1111-FZB1137, which is corresponded to a distinct fault core in the core examination. Two deeper fault zones have
been identified in the core and FMI data but no obvious log anomaly can be observed around these depths.
After restoring the faulting effect, the reconstructed lithology column is shown that the formations of hanging walls in the
fault zones are the same. This result implied that a duplex structure existed. The implication is also supported by the
logging data of Natural Gamma-Ray. The existence of a duplex is further consistent with the out-of-sequence characteristics
of Chi-Chi rupture. Furthermore, it indicates that regional structures were developed upsection within the fault zone system.
