ABSTRACT (Continue on teveree clde It neceaemry mnd Identify by block n'snber) This study establishes the existence of damping structural properties in the San Andreas Fault zone through an input model of surface loading. Any changes in the density, mass or bulk elastic properties of a fault zone will not only produce a change in the gravity field of the earth, but also a change in the earth's response to the tidal field generated by the moon. Knov/-ledge of these changes is important to engineering constructions
