Analogue modeling of through-going process and development pattern of strike-slip fault zone

Nine sets of sand-box experiments were designed according to actual geologic data to investigate the evolution pattern and development mechanism of simple shear strike-slip fault zone using the fault CT scanning technique. The experimental results show that R (Riedel) shears were developed early and...
