Resumen de Rock mechanics as a significant supplement for cross-section balancing (an example from the Pavlov Hills, Outer Western Carpathians, Czech Republic) .
Methods of rock mechanics and mechanical testing are a suitable supplement to tectonicanalysis and structural reconstruction in areas where structures are not clearly visible. Rock mechanicsenhances tectonic research of young non-deep eroded orogenic belts, where past lithostatic stressacquired quite similar values to present-day ones. This paper focusses on cross-section balancing infrontal parts of nappes of the Outer Western Carpathians.
