AB - We consider a model of lithospheric structures contacting along rectilinear  geological faults as a system of composite plates on an elastic foundation.  A simplification of the block element method for different-sized blocks is  proposed. We also describe an approach that is a modification of the block  element method using the method of eigenfunctions. The method is considered  on the example of a static interaction problem of extended plates on the  surface of an elastic layer for a given surface load. As a result we obtain  the representations of solutions describing the surface displacements. The  application of the proposed approach will allow us to draw conclusions about  the effect of the physical and mechanical properties of lithospheric  structures and the type of fault on the nature of displacements in the  geological environment which are applicable for studying the structure of  faults in the upper part of the earth's crust.
