This work presents the results of 3-D movements of faults occurring in the Dědičná štola Gallery in the Rychlebské hory Mts. during the period between 2014 and 2017. The faults were monitored by TM-71 extensometers.
The detected fault slip is nonlinear and is affected by shor t transient periods of acceleration. One dominant and a series of minor transient fault slip accelerations were recognised.
The recorded accelerations were induced by switching two compressional stress/strain states - WNW-ESE to NW-SE compression corresponding to the stress field of the Western European stress domain and to NNE-SSW corresponding to the stress field of the NW part of the Carpathian stress domain. The extensional state, oriented NW-SE, corresponding to gravitational spreading due to th e Rychlebské hory Mts. uplift, was recognised.
