The Sequential Limit Analysis method is applied to capture the internal deformation to these structures resulting from a large number of faulting events during compression. The method combines the application of the kinematic approach of limit analysis to predict the optimum thrust-fold and a set of geometrical rules to update the geometry accordingly, at each increment of shortening. It is shown that the topography remains planar to first order with an average slope predicted by the critical Coulomb wedge theory. Failure by faulting occurs anywhere within the wedge at criticality and its exact position is sensitive to topographic perturbations resulting from the deformation history. The convergence analysis in terms of the shortening increments and of the topography discretisation reveals th...
