The Role of Deformation Bands in Dictating Poromechanical Properties of Unconsolidated Sand and Sandstone
Abstract Cataclastic shear bands in sands and sandstones are typically stronger, stiffer, and exhibit lower permeability than the surrounding matrix, and therefore act as barriers to fluid flow. Previous work has quantified the reduction in permeability associated with these features; however, littl...
