From my point of view ShearDisplacementStructure indicates a geologic structure in the ground where something has moved (sheared, slipped, deformed). I.e. how the structure has come to existence in the...

In geology, movement (displacement) is not the only point of view. For instance, geology also has the rheological point of view which coud perhaps suit better for engineering purposes. In...

I wonder what is our aim in this discussion(?). Is it to choose an appropriate terminology for "natural structures in the earth" for engineering purposes? If yes, we should also...

The discontinuity as a concept is frequently used in engineering geology/geotechnical engineering related literature. When it comes to the shearDisplacementStructure I agree that it is different concept from discontinuity. Not...
