Abstract
Small-scaled multilayered models with the mechanical properties of a s edimentary pile including two levels of potential decollement were per formed to study the kinematics and the geometry of duplex formation. T he models reproduce the main features of the duplexes seen in the fore land of many mountain belts. Thrust propagation in the duplex is alway s in a forward sequence and the earliest horse develops as a triangle zone.
