Experimental Investigation on Effects of Water Injection on Rock Frictional Sliding and Its Implications for the Mechanism of Induced Earthquake

This study conducted water-induced fault slip experiments on saw-cut granite, sandstone, and limestone samples. Experimental results demonstrated that injecting 15 MPa pressurized water into the vicinity of a high-permeability sandstone fault could decrease the effective normal stress and induce fau...
