Effect of Local Cyclic Loading on Direct Shear Strength Characteristics of Shear-Zone Soil [PDF]
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.

Quartz c-axis fabric characterization of the strike-slip ductile deformation within the Three Pagodas shear zone, western Thailand [PDF]
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.

Microstructures associated with the Sottunga-Jurmo shear zone and their implications for the 1.83-1.79 Ga tectonic development of SW Finland [PDF]
This petrographic study of rock samples from the area of a large-scale shear zone, the Sottung-Jurmo shear zone, in SW Finland, illuminates the thermal development of and strain distribution within the rocks during the last development stages of the ...

In Situ Shear Test for Revealing the Mechanical Properties of the Gravelly Slip Zone Soil
Slip zone soil is usually composed of clay or silty clay; in some special geological environments, it contains gravels, which make the properties of the slip zone soil more complex.

Friction of Shear-Fracture Zones [PDF]
A shear fracture of brittle solids under compression undergoes a substantial evolution from the initial microcracking to a fully formed powder-filled shear zone. Experiments covering the entire process are relatively easy to conduct, but they are very difficult to investigate in detail. Numerically, the large strain limit has remained a challenge.

Shear zones in granular media: 3D Contact Dynamics simulation [PDF]
Shear zone formation is investigated in slow 3D shear flows. We simulate the linear version of the split-bottom shear cell. It is shown that the same type of wide shear zones is achieved in the presence as well as in the absence of gravity.
