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

Figure 9

(a) Maximum shear stress and (b) maximum shear strain of the six fault gouges for each earthquake magnitude. The maximum shear stress and strain increase as the magnitude increases. However, both the maximum shear stress and strain for the M5.4 earthquake are lower than those for the M5.1 earthquake.
