The formation of surface earthquake fault is a hot topic in earthquake engineering, as it could cause fatal damage to near-by structures. This paper presents results of numerical experiment of the reverse fault formation using granular materials. The numerical experiment is carried out by using the simulation of Modified Distinct Element Method (MDEM). The deformation of shear bands and the incremental distribution of maximum shear strains are observed to vary in the displacement speed of bedrock fault and the rigidity of surface grounds. It is shown that displacements of the top surface and positions reaching the top surface of shear bands hardly vary in the cohesion of surface grounds.
