Drilling during IODP NanTroSEIZE Expedition 316 led to the recovery of cores from the basal décollement in the frontal part of the Nankai accretionary prism and from a splay fault branching from the décollement at 25‐km landward of the prism toe.

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.

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

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 ...

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 ...

Continuum approach to wide shear zones in quasi-static granular matter [PDF]
Slow and dense granular flows often exhibit narrow shear bands, making them ill-suited for a continuum description. However, smooth granular flows have been shown to occur in specific geometries such as linear shear in the absence of gravity, slow ...

Study on Mechanical Behavior of Slip Zone Soils Under Different Factors—A Case Study
The mechanical properties of the slip zone soil play an important role in the evolution of the loess landslides. To further understand these characteristics, a series of ring shear tests was conducted on the slip zone soils obtained from Tianshuigou ...
