2 Earthquake shear is highly localized Punchbowl PSS, composite based on Chester & Chester [Tectonophys 98] & Chester & Goldsby [SCEC 03] [Rice, JGR 2006] 5 mm

4 Two other Chelungpu Fault,Taiwan boreholes [Boullier et al., GGG 2009, GSL 2011]: Principal Slip Zone (PSZ) localized within black gouges Hole A, fault at 1111 m depth: PSZ is ~2 cm thick A Hole B, fault at 1136 m depth: PSZ is ~3 mm thick PSZ layering defined by variations in concentrations of clay minerals and clasts, comparable to structures produced in high-rate rotary shear experiments.

6 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.
7 Two non-yielding half-spaces are moved relative to each other at a speed V. All deformation accommodated in gouge layer, leading to a nominal strain rate, γ 0 = V h.
8 Rice, Rudnicki & Platt (in prep for JGR 2013) 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, γ τ = f ( γ )(σ n p) f ( γ ) = f 0 + (a b)log γ 0 ( We assume a b ( γ df ( γ )/d γ ) γ = γ > 0) 0
9 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 ( γ o = V / h) Linearized perturbation analysis : Λ ( )exp f o ρc γ ot, Is that solution stable to small perturbations? Not unless h is very small! Stable only if h W crit Typically, π f o a b f o a b >> 2 W crit π 2 a b f o 2 ( ) ρc α th + α hy f o Λ V ρc α th + α hy Λ V [W crit = λ shr / 2, where λ shr = longest wavelenth λ for stable linearized response to infinitesimal exp(2πiy / λ) perturbation].. h σ n V / 2 V / 2 τ(t) u(y,t) = γ o y = V h y Rice, Rudnicki & Platt (in prep for JGR 2013)
10 Estimates of maximum stable shear layer thickness (i.e., localized zone width) W crit : W crit = π f o a b Results, using f o = 0.4, ( ) ρc α th + α hy f o Λ V (indep. of σ n, but Λ, α hy, etc. may vary with σ n ) 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 drained compressibility β d to β d dmg = 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 (in prep for JGR 2013)
11 Platt, Rudnicki & Rice (in prep for JGR 2013) Two non-yielding half-spaces are moved relative to each other at a speed V. All deformation accommodated in gouge layer leading to a nominal strain rate, γ o = V h
12 Platt, Rudnicki, and Rice (in prep for JGR 2013) Simulations using representative physical values show that strain localization does occur. Gouge layer y 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..
13 Weakening of the gouge layers during localization τ f o (σ n p a ) Platt, Rudnicki & Rice (in prep for JGR 2013) Vt / h Closely follows slip on a plane analysis of Rice [JGR, 2006], see also Mase & Smith [JGR,1987] Localization leads to additional weakening. τ = f o (σ n p a )exp Vt L * erfc Vt L * where L * = 2ρc f o Λ 2 ( α hy + α ) 2 th V
14 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.
15 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

17 To model the deforming gouge layer we use, based on J. Sulem and co-workers (Vardoulakis, Brantut, Ghabezloo, Famin, Lazar, Noda, Schubnel, Stefanou, Veveakis, ), T t = τ γ ρc + α th p t = Λ T t + α hy 2 T y 2 E r 2 p y 2 + P r ξ t ξ t We assume that the reaction follows an Arrhenius kinetic law, ξ t = A( 1 ξ)exp Q RT Platt, Brantut & Rice (AGU, Fall 2011; in prep 2013 for JGR)
18 Platt, Brantut & Rice (AGU, Fall 2011; in prep 2013 for JGR) μ Linear perturbation estimate, localization zone width W, high T, fast reaction rate limit: W lin. pert. = π 2 α hy V (a b) f o 2 ρce r P r
19 Now we consider nonlinear simulations for a finite width gouge layer sheared between two non-yielding poroelastic half-spaces. Platt, Brantut & Rice (AGU, Fall 2011; in prep 2013 for JGR)
20 Platt, Brantut & Rice (AGU, Fall 2011; in prep 2013 for JGR) Distance from fault center, mm We now solve the system numerically for a 1 mm wide gouge layer. s -1 Accumulated slip, mm Accumulated slip, mm When the reaction becomes important, we observe significant strain localization (W nonlin. calc. of order ~ 2 x W lin. pert. ). Platt, Brantut & Rice (AGU, Fall 2011; in prep 2013 for JGR)
21 Distance from fault center, mm Our linear stability analysis predicts the localized zone width is independent of kinetic parameters. 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. Platt, Brantut & Rice (AGU, Fall 2011; in prep 2013 for JGR)
22 Distance from fault center, mm Now we investigate a case for which depletion of reactant is important. s -1 Accumulated slip, mm Accumulated slip, mm Depletion causes the zone of localized straining to migrate. The strain rate and reaction rate profiles are strongly coupled. Platt, Brantut & Rice (AGU, Fall 2011; in prep 2013 for JGR)
23 This localized zone migration leads to a complex, non-monotonic, strain history. Distance from fault center, mm Accumulated slip, mm Platt, Brantut & Rice (AGU, Fall 2011; in prep 2013 for JGR)
