Effects of Earthquake on Behavior Characteristics of Fault Gouge in Time-History Analysis of Slope

Figure 13

Comparison of the maximum shear stress and shear strain between fault gouge in sedimentary rock and H.W. rock due to the (a) M3.0 and (b) M5.8 earthquakes. There is a similar tendency in all of the fault gouges, regardless of magnitude. (a) Maximum shear stress due to the M3.0 earthquake. (b) Maximum shear stress due to the M5.8 earthquake. (c) Maximum shear strain due to the M3.0 earthquake. (d) Maximum shear strain due to the M5.8 earthquake.
