Dear Bruno,
We once tried to work out such a relationship by experimental and theoretical predictions. Your student may take a look at the following:
Mandal, N., Chattopadhyay, A. and Bose, S. (1997). Imbricate thrust spacing: experimental and theoretical analyses. In: S. Sengupta (Ed.) Evolution of Geologic Structures in Macro- to Micro-scale. Chapman and Hall, London. 143-165.
Hope this helps.

Dear
all,A student of mine is working on a large, active
mud pie in Azerbaijan and, in the upper crust of the mud
pie, he observed some pop-up structures at the periphery. He
knows the spacing between the reverse faults and he is
wondering whether there is somewhere in the literature an
article that relates reverse-fault spacing with the
thickness of the crust.Could some
of you find a reference somewhere?Thanks in
advance,Bruno VendevilleUniversité de Lille, France
