This paper tackles the problem of static deformation of an orthotropic elastic layer of uniform thickness overline an orthotropic elastic half-space. This is caused by a very long vertical strikeslip fault in the layer with rigid surface and this problem is solved analytically. The effect of ratio of width and depth of the faults has been studied for parabolic and linear slip profiles by varying the horizontal dimensionless displacements and by depicting contour maps for the stresses.
