Abstract
After reviewing the problems associated with the current implementation of the LURR theory, we suggest that taking account of stress field complexity and stress reorientation may resolve these problems. By introducing the concept of Maximum Faulting Orientation (MFO), we propose a new approach for calculating LURR. Results presented for the case of the Northridge earthquake provide encouragement for the stress-reorientation explanation and the new approach.
