The structure shown in the figures is on top of the trac of the Hayward fault. Bolts are used to try to strengthen the masonry structure. In figure 2 you can see the right-lateral movement of the fault resulting in the deformation of the wall of the structure. Photos and information presented in this page was collected during a field trip with Professor Douglas Dreger, of the Berkeley Seismological Laboratory, University of California at Berkeley.
