Journal ArticleDOI
A review of recent developments concerning the structure, mechanics and fluid flow properties of fault zones
Daniel R. Faulkner,Christopher A.-L. Jackson,Rebecca J. Lunn,Roy W. Schlische,Zoe K. Shipton,Christopher A. J. Wibberley,Martha Oliver Withjack +6 more
TL;DR: Fault zones and fault systems have a key role in the development of the Earth's crust and control the mechanics and fluid flow properties of the crust, and the architecture of sedimentary deposits in basins as discussed by the authors.
Journal ArticleDOI
Internal structure and permeability of major strike-slip fault zones: the Median Tectonic Line in Mie Prefecture, Southwest Japan
TL;DR: Fault permeability data from the Median Tectonic Line (MTL) in Mie Prefecture, Southwest Japan suggest that fault permeability models are currently too simplistic for such large structurally complex fault zones.
Journal ArticleDOI
Are feldspar-to-mica reactions necessarily reaction-softening processes in fault zones?
TL;DR: In this article, microstructural information and geochemical data from the fault rocks suggest that different muscovitisation reactions occurred at different times within the evolution of the fault zone, and each reaction had its own impact on fault rheology.
Journal ArticleDOI
Hydraulic diffusivity of fault gouge zones and implications for thermal pressurization during seismic slip
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used laboratory-determined permeability and compressibility data for natural fault gouge samples from the Median Tectonic Line (MTL) to estimate hydraulic diffusivities in fault- gouge zones.
Journal ArticleDOI
A model of strain localization in porous sandstone as a function of tectonic setting, burial and material properties; new insight from Provence (southern France)
Roger Soliva,Richard A. Schultz,Gregory Ballas,Alfredo Taboada,Christopher A. J. Wibberley,Elodie Saillet,Antonio Benedicto +6 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the analysis of three cataclastic band sets from Provence (France) reveals that the band density, their conjugate angles, their ratio of shear displacement to compaction and the amount of cataclasis within the bands differ and can be expressed as functions of tectonic setting and petrophysical properties.
