Journal ArticleDOI
Fault lubrication during earthquakes
G. Di Toro,G. Di Toro,Raehee Han,Takehiro Hirose,N. De Paola,Stefan Nielsen,Kazuo Mizoguchi,Francesca Ferri,Massimo Cocco,Toshihiko Shimamoto +9 more
TL;DR: It seems that faults are lubricated during earthquakes, irrespective of the fault rock composition and of the specific weakening mechanism involved, according to a large set of published and unpublished experiments.
Journal ArticleDOI
Reconstruction of seismic faulting by high-velocity friction experiments: An example of the 1995 Kobe earthquake
TL;DR: In this article, high-velocity friction experiments on a fault gouge collected from the Nojima fault activated during the 1995 Kobe earthquake showed that the friction coefficient decreased from 0.63 to 0.18 over a slip weakening distance, at high slip rates of ∼ 1 m/s.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effects of clay content on the frictional strength and fluid transport property of faults
TL;DR: In this article, the authors examined two effects of the presence of clay in brittle deformations: the reduction in frictional strength and the impediment of across-fault fluid flow, and they showed that the decrease in the friction coefficient of a gouge with increasing clay content was not simple, but showed a sharp drop at 50 vol.% clay content.
Journal ArticleDOI
Clay‐clast aggregates: A new textural evidence for seismic fault sliding?
Sebastien Boutareaud,Sebastien Boutareaud,Dan-Gabriel Calugaru,Raehee Han,Olivier Fabbri,Kazuo Mizoguchi,Akito Tsutsumi,Toshihiko Shimamoto +7 more
TL;DR: In this article, rotary-shear experiments were conducted at seismic slip rates (equivalent to 0.9 and 1.3 m/s) at 0.6 MPa normal stress on a natural clayey gouge for saturated and non-saturated initial conditions.
Journal ArticleDOI
High-velocity frictional behavior and microstructure evolution of fault gouge obtained from Nojima fault, southwest Japan
TL;DR: In this paper, high-velocity experiments on fault gouge taken from the Nojima fault that slipped during the 1995 Kobe earthquake were conducted to investigate physical mechanism associated with the slip-weakening behavior.
