1 Symposium on the Application of Mechanics to Geophysics Scripps Institute of Oceanography, University of California at San Diego 17 and 18 January 2015 Shear localization due to thermal pressurization of pore fluids in rapidly sheared granular media James R.

2 Abstract Field observations of mature, well-slipped, earthquake fault zones show that the majority of shear is often localized to principal slipping zones of order mm width within a broader gouge layer of order mm wide (with all that being a feature locating within a much broader, 1-10s m wide, damage zone bordering the fault). Such fault gouges are often ratestrengthening, especially at higher temperatures, and are then resistant to shear localization under slow deformation. We show that extreme localization is, instead, a predicted consequence of rapid straining, with related shear heating, of fluid-infiltrated gouge on time scales that are too short for significant pore-fluid drainage or heat conduction. The localization is due to development of highly elevated pore pressure, hence of lowered Terzaghi effective stress, from thermal expansion of the fluid (i.e., thermal pressurization of the pore fluid, when expansion is constrained by a low-permeability host). Results are presented for two versions of the process: In the classical one, the pore fluid pre-exists in the gouge as groundwater. In another, the study of which was pioneered by J. Sulem and co-workers, thermal decomposition reactions in hydrated silicates (clays, serpentines) or carbonates within gouge are triggered as temperature rises, releasing as volatile a fluid phase (H2O or CO2) at high pressure. Some of the work is published in JGR in 2014 (doi: /2013JB and ) and some is in review there as of early 2015.

Process that may set in at large enough rise in T: - Thermal decomposition, fluid product phase at high pressure (e.g., CO 2 from carbonates; H 2 O from clays or serpentines). Ultimately: - Melting at large slip, if above have not limited increase of T.

10 Rice, Rudnicki & Platt (JGR 2014) - formulation analogous to Benallal (CR Mec 2005) To model the deforming gouge layer we use, Mechanical equilibrium Conservation of energy Conservation of fluid mass τ y = 0, σ n y = 0 2 T = τ γ ρc T t α th p t α hy y 2 2 p y 2 = Λ T t Shear stress modeled using the effective stress and rate-strengthening friction, τ = f ( γ )(σ n p) f ( γ ) = f 0 + (a b)log γ γ 0 We assume a b γdf ( γ )/d γ ( ( ) γ= γ0 > 0)
11 Shear between moving rigid blocks of perfectly insulating, impermeable material: Exact homogeneous shear solution (Lachenbruch, JGR, 1980,version ignoring dilatancy): τ (t) = f o ( σ n p(t) ) = f o σ n p a Λ ( )exp f o ρc γ ot, ( γ o = V / h) Linearized perturbation analysis : Is that solution stable to small perturbations?

12 Estimates of maximum stable shear layer thickness (i.e., localized zone width) W crit Results, using f o = 0.4, f o a b = 20, V = 1 m s, α th = 0.7 mm2, ρc = 2.7 MPa s ºC : Corresponding to ~ 7 km depth : Low estimate (Based on lab properties of intact Median Tectonic Line gouge [Wibberley and Shimamoto, 2003] at effective confining stress = 125 MPa and T = 200ºC): Λ = 0.70 MPa ºC, and α hy = 1.5 mm2 W crit = 3-5 μm s High estimate (Accounts very roughly for fresh damage of the initially intact fault gouge, introduced at the rupture front just before and during shear, by increasing permeability k to k dmg = 5-10 k, and increasing dmg drained compressibility β d to β d = βd ): Λ 0.34 MPa ºC, and α hy 3.5 mm2 s W crit μm Corresponding to ~ 1 km depth : Low estimate : W crit 25 μm High estimate : W crit 200 μm Rice, Rudnicki & Platt (JGR 2014)
13 Platt, Rudnicki & Rice (JGR 2014) Two non-yielding half-spaces are moved relative to each other at a speed V (taken as 1 m/s). All deformation accommodated in gouge layer leading to a nominal strain rate, γ o = V h
14 Platt, Rudnicki, and Rice (JGR 2014) Simulations using representative physical values show that strain localization does occur. Gouge layer y W W Deformation has localized to a zone much thinner than the layer, W << h (43 μm << 1,000 μm). W nonlin. calc. is comparable to W lin. pert..

16 τ = f x (σ n p) Statically strong but dynamically weak faults, e.g., due to thermal weakening in rapid, large slip: Process expected to be important from start of seismic slip: - Thermal pressurization of in-situ pore fluid, reduces effective stress. Process that may set in at large enough rise in T: - Thermal decomposition, fluid product phase at high pressure (e.g., CO 2 from carbonates; H 2 O from clays or serpentines). Ultimately: - Melting at large slip, if above have not limited increase of T.
17 Examples, thermal decomposition: Dolomite, CaMg(CO 3 ) 2 (De Paola et al., Tectonics, 2008, Geology, 2011; Goren et al., J. Geophys. Res., 2010): At T ~ 550ºC, dolomite decomposes to calcite, periclase, and carbon dioxide: CaMg(CO 3 ) 2 CaCO 3 + MgO + CO 2 At T ~ ºC, the calcite further decomposes to lime and carbon dioxide: CaCO 3 CaO + CO 2 Many clays and hydrous silicates (Brantut et al., J. Geophys. Res., 2010): At T ~ 500ºC (~300ºC for smectite, ~ 800ºC for chlorite), decomposition releasing H 2 O starts. Gypsum, CaSO 4 (H 2 O) 2 ) (Brantut et al., Geology, 2010): At T ~ 100ºC, gypsum dehydrates to form bassanite: CaSO 4 (H 2 O) 2 CaSO 4 (H 2 O) H 2 O At T ~ 140ºC, bassanite turns into anhydrite CaS 4 (H 2 O)0.5 CaSO H 2 O

To test this we increase A by three orders of magnitude. s -1 Accumulated slip, mm Accumulated slip, mm The localized zone width has only decreased by a factor of two.

29 Fault zones undergoing seismic slip: Frictional heating leads to dynamic pressurization of pore fluids (native ground fluids, or decomposition products from clays and carbonates) within fault gouge. Result is that dramatic shear-weakening results. Consequences for the dynamics of rupture propagation and earthquake phenomenology: - strong but brittle faults, - operating at low overall stress, - with no pronounced heat outflow, - often showing self-healing rupture mode.
