This topic has been dealt with under various categories. A partial list of them are given in the links below. Two case studies are also included in the list. The related conceptual and mechanical models can be summarized as follows: Conjugate Strike-slip Faults and apparent Conjugate Strike-slip Faults, with the latter being basically sequential shearing under a rotated stress field, again, described in detail at several links provided below.

Figure 1 from Rawnsley et al. (1998) among others is a good example for this mechanism.

Figure 1. Evolution of strike-slip fault network from shearing of joints of various phases in the Mesozoic sedimentary rocks exposed at Bristol Channel, UK. From Rawnsley et al. 1998.

Figure 2 from Bourne and Willemse (2001) is a model for strike-slip faulting and the related jointing in the same area. Both of these models address primarily fracturing associated with strike-slip faults, but the fractures in the field all have shear displacements primarily in a strike-slip sense.

Figure 2. Fracture network development from two sets of strike-slip faults (through-going systematic and secondary sets) at Nash Point, eastern Bristol Channel (UK) using linear elastic model and a combined Griffith-Coulomb failure criterion. It is likely that the secondary set developed from initial splay fractures associated with the shearing of the systematic or through-going set. From Bourne and Willemse (2001).

Figure 3 illustrates a similar case of sequential shearing from (a) through (c) at Valley of Fire Nevada (Flodin and Aydin, 2004) with the distinction that the strike-slip faults occur in a hierarchical pattern.
