Frictional and hydrologic properties of clay-rich fault gouge

[1] The slip behavior of major faults depends largely on the frictional and hydrologic properties of fault gouge. We report on laboratory experiments designed to measure the strength, friction constitutive properties, and permeability of a suite of saturated clay-rich fault gouges, including: a 50:50% mixture of montmorillonite-quartz, powdered illite shale, and powdered chlorite schist. Fricti...

Frictional and hydrologic properties of a major splay fault system, Nankai subduction zone

[1] We report on laboratory experiments examining the frictional and hydrologic properties of fault gouge and wall rock along a borehole transect that crosses a major out-of-sequence thrust splay fault within the Nankai accretionary complex. At 25 MPa effective normal stress, the fault zone material is frictionally weak (m 0.44) and exhibits low permeability after shearing (k < 5.5 10 20 m). Fa...

Strike-slip motion of a mega-splay fault system in the Nankai oblique subduction zone

We evaluated the influence of the trench-parallel component of plate motion on the active fault system within the Nankai accretionary wedge from reflection seismic profiles, high-resolution seafloor bathymetry, and deep-towed sub-bottom profiles. Our study demonstrated that a large portion of the trench-parallel component of oblique plate subduction is released by strike-slip motion along a fau...

Constitutive properties of clayey fault gouge from the Hanaore fault zone, southwest Japan

[1] Velocity step tests at a range of slip rates (0.0154–155.54 mm s ) are performed using natural fault gouge containing smectite, mica, and quartz collected from an outcrop of the Hanaore Fault, southwest Japan. Field and microscopic observations reveal that the shear deformation is localized to a few centimeters or thinner layer of black clayey fault gouge. This layer is formed by multiple s...

Dynamic Fault Weakening and Strengthening by Gouge Compaction and Dilatancy in a Fluid-Saturated Fault Zone

Triaxial experiments show that samples of fault gouge deform distinctly differently than those from the adjacent fault damage zone (e.g., Chester and Logan, 1986). Rock samples in the damage zone follow a characteristic elastic-brittle behavior, whereas fault gouge readily compacts and deforms in a more ductile manner. In order to explain the apparent weakness of large plate bounding faults suc...
