3D model of interacting faults is presented The use of the slip-weakening friction law, tectonic loading from the sides of a fault zone, and continuous time formulation of governing equations are its major ingredients. The model can be used for simulations of seismic activity both in time scales of single earthquakes, earthquake cycles, and a long-term system evolution. It allows to study time variations of energy release and tectonic stresses, as well as patterns of slips, slip rates and internal stresses measured at individual locations. Results of such an analysis are presented in Part II of this paper.
