Microstructures associated with the Sottunga-Jurmo shear zone and their implications for the 1.83-1.79 Ga tectonic development of SW Finland [PDF]

open access: yesBulletin of the Geological Society of Finland, 2010
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 ...

Shear zones in granular media: 3D Contact Dynamics simulation [PDF]

open access: yes, 2007
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.

Core Precession and Global Modes in Granular Bulk Flow [PDF]

open access: yes, 2005
A transition from local to global shear zones is reported for granular flows in a modified Couette cell. The experimental geometry is a slowly rotating drum which has a stationary disc of radius R_s fixed at its bottom.

Effect of Spatial Variations in Floodplain Vegetation on Bed Shear Stress Distribution [PDF]

open access: yes长江科学院院报
[Objective] This study aims to investigate the effects of different vegetation arrangements (parallel and staggered) in the junction zone between channel and floodplain in urban rivers on the spatial distribution of bed shear stress, and to reveal how ...

Impact of Shear Zone on Rockburst in the Deep Neelum-Jehlum Hydropower Tunnel: A Numerical Modeling Approach

open access: yesEnergies, 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 ...

Analysis of Failure Behavior Based on the Ring Shear Test in a Bedding Rock Landslide of the Three Gorges Reservoir

open access: yesFrontiers in Earth Science, 2022
Complex geological environment and climatic conditions lead to frequent geological disasters in the Three Gorges Reservoir area. In particular, due to the impact of reservoir impoundment, a large number of landslides have occurred, resulting in huge ...

Quantitative Evaluation of Soil Structure and Strain in Three Dimensions under Shear Using X-ray Computed Tomography Image Analysis

open access: yesJournal of Imaging, 2021
The objective of this study is to quantitatively evaluate the soil structure behavior when under shear stress to understand the mechanism of shear zone formation using a micro-focus X-ray computed tomography (CT) scanner to visualize the internal samples

Variations in the P‐T‐t of Deformation in a Crustal‐Scale Shear Zone in Metagranite

open access: yesGeochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, 2020
Deformation in crustal‐scale shear zones occurs over a range of pressure‐temperature‐time (P‐T‐t) conditions, both because they may be vertically extensive structures that simultaneously affect material from the lower crust to the surface, and because ...
