Model 3: Hanging-wall geometry. a Input data on the topography surface (foliation measurements and interface points). b Map view of the modelled hanging-wall foliation field of the S1/2 fabric on the topographic surface. Each line of different colour highlights the different values of the potential field. Such a representation is used to represent the S1/2 foliation map within the hanging-wall. c Section perpendicular to the general extension direction showing the modelled foliation field of the S1/2 fabric within footwall and hanging-wall. d–f 3D geometry of the modelled foliation field for the S1/2 fabric within footwall and hanging-wall and for the Simplon Line, from different viewpoints. B Berisal synform, G Glishorn antiform, Ms Masera synform, Vz Vanzone antiform, SL Simplon Line, S 1/2 pre-existent regional fabric associated to the D1–D2 deformation phase
