Experimental friction data for simulated Nankai Trough gouges sheared under a range of effective normal stress and pore-fluid pressure conditions (NERC Grant NE/S015531/1)
The data are from a suite of friction experiments performed on simulated gouges from the Nankai Trough (Japan). The simulated gouges were prepared by crushing cuttings of Nankai accretionary sediments collected during Integrated Ocean Drilling Program (IODP) Expedition 358. The cuttings were crushed to produce a powder (i.e. simulated gouge) with a grain size of >125 microns. These simulated gouges were sheared under a range of effective normal stress (10-75 Mpa) and pore-fluid pressure (5-75 Mpa) conditions while the sliding velocity was stepped between 0.3 and 3 microns/s to calculated the rate-and-state friction parameter (a-b). The Nankai gouge are strongly rate-strengthening and become more rate-strengthening (i.e. more frictionally stable) at elevated pore-fluid pressure. In contrast, varying the effective normal stress has minimal effect on the frictional stability of the gouges.

- Statement

Data were collected using a direct shear setup, where layers of Nankai gouge were sheared in a triaxial deformation apparatus. In the direct shear geometry the normal stress is applied by the confining pressure (Pc), and pore fluid pressure (Pf) is introduced to the sample through the three porous disks on each of the direct shear forcing blocks. A total of 20 different experiments were performed, at four different effective normal stresses (10, 25, 50 and 75 MPa) and five different pore-fluid pressures (5, 10, 25, 50 and 75 MPa). In each experiment the gouge layers were sheared for an initial 1.5 mm displacement at 0.3 microns/s, before velocity steps of 0.3 to 3 microns/s and back were applied every subsequent 1 mm of displacement to determine the rate-dependence of slip, (a-b). The total displacement in each experiment is 8.5 mm.
