英文摘要：

This paper reviewed the progress of active fault and the related avoidance distance：（1） It summarized the latest on active fault and proposed emphatically the definition of active fault for the project or from the research for setback;（2） It induced and evaluated the related standard of the world related country and expert＇s relevant research for active fault;（3） For Setback of Surface-Fault-Rupture,it concluded that the direction of fault precise positioning for construction and setback established for project classification should be researched intentionally.Also the reference and the idea are proposed herein.
