Surface faulting earthquake clustering controlled by fault and shear-zone interactions. [PDF]
Nat Commun, 2022 Surface faulting earthquakes are known to cluster in time from historical and palaeoseismic studies, but the mechanism(s) responsible for clustering, such as fault interaction, strain-storage, and evolving dynamic topography, are poorly quantified, and ...

Cascadia low frequency earthquakes at the base of an overpressured subduction shear zone. [PDF]
Nat Commun, 2020 In subduction zones, landward dipping regions of low shear wave velocity and elevated Poisson’s ratio, which can extend to at least 120 km depth, are interpreted to be all or part of the subducting igneous oceanic crust.

Effect of Local Cyclic Loading on Direct Shear Strength Characteristics of Shear-Zone Soil [PDF]
Applied Sciences, 2022 The reservoir landslide in the Three Gorges Reservoir Area (TGRA) often suffers from local cyclic loading scenarios produced by surge waves, groundwater level fluctuation, traffic loading, and seismic activity.

Energies, 2018 Rockburst is a hazardous phenomenon in deep tunnels influenced by geological structural planes like faults, joints, and shear planes. Small-scale shear-plane-like structures have damaging impact on the boundaries of the tunnel, which act as barrier and ...

Quartz c-axis fabric characterization of the strike-slip ductile deformation within the Three Pagodas shear zone, western Thailand [PDF]
Heliyon, 2022 The Three Pagodas shear zone is associated with mainland Southeast Asia deformations. The evolution of the shear zone is divided into deformation phases D1a, D1b, and D2.

San-in shear zone in southwest Japan, revealed by GNSS observations
Earth, Planets and Space, 2017 A right-lateral shear zone in the San-in region, southwest Japan, has been proposed by previous geological and seismological studies. It locates 350 km north of the Nankai Trough, that is, the main plate boundary between the subducting Philippine Sea and

Permeability Evolution During Shear Zone Initiation in Low-Porosity Rocks
Rock Mechanics and Rock Engineering, 2021 Using an innovative experimental set-up (Punch-Through Shear test), we initiated a shear zone (microfault) in Flechtingen sandstone and Odenwald granite under in situ reservoir conditions while monitoring permeability and fracture dilation evolution. The

Lithosphere, 2021 Large-scale strike-slip faults are fundamental tectonic elements of the continental lithosphere. They constitute plate boundaries (continental transforms), separate terranes with contrasting geological histories within accretionary orogens, or ...
