Understanding the mechanical and hydraulic properties of fractured rocks and their coupled
processes is of great significance for the exploration, design, construction, operation, and …

This paper reviews 19 apparatuses having high-velocity capabilities, describes a rotary-
shear low to high-velocity friction apparatus installed at Institute of Geology, China …

During the long-term operational lifespan of nuclear waste repositories in crystalline rock
formations, large earthquakes along nearby seismogenic fault zones may occur …

The evolution of the shear resistance at the base of a coherent landslide body can effectively
control its dynamic behavior. High‐velocity rotary shear experiments have allowed scientists …

The understanding of earthquake physics is hindered by the poor knowledge of fault
strength and temperature evolution during seismic slip. Experiments reproducing seismic …

Abstract The 2008 Mw 7.9 Wenchuan earthquake generated∼ 270 and∼ 80 km long
surface ruptures along the Longmenshan fault belt, namely the Yingxiu‐Beichuan fault …

Although the effects of mechanical amorphization by fault motion on fault rocks have been
investigated both in nature and experiments, the relationship between slip processes and …

In this study, we report the hydraulic properties of samples recovered from the first borehole
of the Wenchuan earthquake Fault Scientific Drilling and from outcrops associated with the …

Fluid transport properties of fault rocks are crucial parameters that affect earthquake
nucleation and rupture propagation. In this study, we examined the internal structure …

Coseismic faulting may activate complicated physicochemical processes in the fault zone
through both mechanical deformation and frictional heating. While plenty of work …
