Sedimentation in alluvial fans is considered as geological action that takes place annually with floods, active faults may be registered within some fans
thank you for your answer (question), my thesis was not about the transform faulting, but with that while I was studying some aerial photos from Aqaba, I found some disturbances in the alluvial fans, and would like to have answers on them, if they can be related to the transform fault of the Dead Sea. Also I am looking for articles in the same regard.
Great , there is another Thesis by Kazem Rangzan on Zagros. He has looked at transform fault, he is on RG you can get in touch with him. I will also tell him to get in touch with you.
You will find examples of active faulting affecting sedimentation/flooding, eastern Doon Valley, and N. India in chapter 7 of A.M.J. Meijerink et al. Remote Sensing Applications to Groundwater. UNESCO, IHP-VI, Series on Groundwater, No. 16, 311p.,
There is also plenty of literature on alluvial fans offset by the Dead Sea Fault or one of its branches:
Klinger et al., 2000: Slip rate on the Dead Sea transform fault in northern Araba valley (Jordan). http://gji.oxfordjournals.org/content/142/3/755.full
Ginat et al., 1998: Translocated Plio-Pleistocene drainage systems along the Arava fault of the Dead Sea Transform. http://earth.huji.ac.il/data/pics/RP28.pdf

There is ample evidence of fault offset of modern fans in the western US, especially the Death Valley area and surroundings. There is a lot of papers on these, you can start with looking for B.Troxek, L, Wright, B.Wernicke
