The effect of shear load on frictional healing in simulated fault gouge
We report on frictional strengthening (healing) in granular quartz gouge as a function of time of true stationary contact. To distinguish between the slip-dependent [Ruina, 1983] and time-dependent [Dieterich, 1979] friction constitutive laws, we designed tests similar to conventional slide-hold-slide (SHS) tests except that shear load was completely removed prior to holds. We find large healin...
متن کاملParticle-size distribution and microstructures within simulated fault gouge
-This paper presents an investigation of comminution mechanisms and microstructure development within simulated fault gouge. We sheared 4.0 mm thick layers of quartz sand between rough steel surfaces using a triaxial apparatus. The layers were sheared at constant effective normal stress of 100 MPa, under saturated drained conditions, and at 45 ° to the axis of cylindrical steel samples. Porosit...
متن کاملA Note on the Stress-Dilatancy Relation for Simulated Fault Gouge
-Theoretical constraints on the stress-dilation relation for a deforming Coulomb material require v -< 0 if C = 0 and v -< sin-l(Tm/e,n) always, where v is the dilation angle, 0 is the friction angle, C is cohesion, z,, is the maximum shear stress, and a,~ is the mean effective stress. Recent laboratory measurements of friction and dilatancy of simulated fault gouge show that small amplitude sh...
متن کاملFrictional strength and strain weakening in simulated fault gouge: Competition between geometrical weakening and chemical strengthening
[1] Despite the importance of hydromechanical effects in fault processes, not much is known about the interplay of chemical and mechanical processes, in part because the conditions are difficult to simulate in the laboratory. We report results from an experimental study of simulated fault gouge composed of rock salt sheared under conditions where pressure solution is known to operate. At slidin...
متن کاملThermo-Poro-Mechanical Properties of Clayey Gouge and Application to Rapid Fault Shearing
In this paper, the mechanism of fault pressurization in rapid slip events is analyzed on the basis of a complete characterization of the thermo-poro-mechanical behavior of a clayey gouge extracted at 760m depth in Aigion fault in the active seismic zone of the Gulf of Corinth, Greece. It is shown that the thermally collapsible character of this clayey gouge can be responsible for a dramatic red...
