Anisotropy of a shear zone

Géotechnique, 2008
The behaviour of landslides in clay is essentially governed by a shear zone located at the base of the soil mass. While some data regarding the shear zones of slides are available, information is rather poor about the shear zones of mudslides. The paper reports some results of investigations on the shear zone located at the base of a mudslide, showing

An abyssal shear zone

Journal of Geophysical Research: Oceans, 1978
At Geochemical Ocean Sections Study station 28, in the basin east of the Newfoundland Ridge, dramatic evidence for the ‘underthrusting’ of the benthic boundary layer was encountered. Results from the continuous temperature, salinity, and nephel measurements and from discrete water samples are presented in order to document that strong shearing within ...

Shear zones – A review

Earth-Science Reviews, 2017
Strain in the lithosphere localizes into tabular zones known as shear zones that grow from small outcrop-size individual zones to large composite structures. Nucleation is related to distributed microscale flaws or mesoscale structures such as fractures and dikes, and they soon establish displacement profiles similar to faults.

Finite width of shear zones

Physical Review E, 2002
We present some experimental and numerical results based on a simple model designed to give an estimate for the width of a shear zone. We conclude that the observed finite size of the shear zone can be associated with the propagation of the force lines inside the medium.

Laminar flow in shear zones: the Pernambuco Shear Zone, NE-Brazil

Journal of Structural Geology, 1995
Abstract The Pernambuco Shear Zone (PSZ) is a 700 km long branch of one of the largest and best-exposed Precambrian strike-slip shear zone systems in the world. The shear zones are part of the eroded record of a large-scale collision zone. Foliation and lineation orientations along the shear zone indicate that local deformation perturbations have ...

The South Armorican Shear Zone

Journal of Structural Geology, 1980
Abstract The main lithological features and structural relations of the South Armorican Shear Zone (S.A.S.Z.) are described and the evolution of physical conditions during deformation is outlined. Age constraints on the timing of shearing deformation are discussed and an attempt is made to place the S.A.S.Z. in its regional geodynamic context.
