Experimental investigation on frictional properties of stressed basalt fractures
The frictional strength and sliding stability of faults are crucial in interpreting earthquake mechanisms and cycles. Herein, we report friction experiments on basalt fractures, using a self-designed triaxial apparatus that allows direct shear of samples under coupled hydro-mechanical conditions. Ve...
