Effect of sieving height on density and friction of brittle analogue material: Ring-shear test data of quarz sand used for analogue experiments in the Tectonic Modelling Lab of the University of Bern
Schmid, Timothy; Schreurs, Guido; Warsitzka, Michael; Rosenau, Matthias; (2019-07)
This dataset provides friction data from ring-shear tests (RST) for a quartz sand (“A”). This material is used in various types of analogue experiments in Tectonic Modelling Lab... -
Fluid-Induced Fault Slip Experiments in the Laboratory on Critically Stressed Saw-Cut Sandstone Samples with High Permeability
Wang, Lei; Kwiatek, Grzegorz; Rybacki, Erik; Bonnelye, Audrey; Bohnhoff, Marco; Dresen, Georg; (2019-10)
To understand the physical mechanisms governing fluid-induced seismicity at field-scale fluid injection projects, we conducted fluid-induced fault slip experiments in the... -
Mechanical data and microstructures of simulated calcite fault gouge sheared at 550°C
Verberne, Berend Antonie; Chen, Jianye; Pennock, Gillian; (2017-10)
The largest magnitude earthquakes nucleate at depths near the base of the seismogenic zone, near the transition from velocity weakening frictional slip to velocity strengthening... -
Effect of sieving height on density and friction of brittle analogue material: Ring-shear test data of corundum sand used for analogue experiments in the Tectonic Modelling Lab of the University of Bern (CH)
Schmid, Timothy; Schreurs, Guido; Warsitzka, Michael; Rosenau, Matthias; (2019-07)
This dataset provides friction data from ring-shear tests (RST) for a corundum sand (“NKF120”). This material is used in various types of analogue experiments in Tectonic... -
Permeability of bituminous coal to CH4 and CO2 under fixed volume and stress boundary conditions: Effects of sorption
Liu, Jinfeng; (2022)
We report permeability data of a cylindrical sample of high volatile bituminous coal (25mm in diameter) with a clearly visible cleat system, to CH4 and CO2, performed under... -
Frictional healing data from direct shear slide-hold-slide experiments performed on simulated fault gouges from the Groningen gas field
Hunfeld, Luuk Bernd; (2020)
We investigated the frictional strength recovery (healing) and subsequent reactivation and slip-weakening behaviour of simulated fault gouges derived from key stratigraphic... -
Micro-XCT images, grain size distributions and mechanical data used in: "Uniaxial compaction of sand using 4D X-ray tomography: The effect of mineralogy on grain-scale compaction mechanisms."
Van Stappen, Jeroen. F.; Hangx, Suzanne J.T.; (2020)
The mechanical behaviour of sand aggregates is often studied as a proxy for poorly consolidated sands and highly porous sandstones. Only recently research aimed at understanding...
