Utah FORGE: Slide-Hold-Slide Experiments on Westerly Granite at Temperatures up to 250 Degrees C

Published by United States Geological Survey | Department of Energy | Metadata Last Checked: June 28, 2025 | Last Modified: 2024-07-09T16:21:50Z
Laboratory slide-hold-slide tests were conducted in a conventional triaxial deformation configuration on 1-inch diameter cylindrical cores of Westerly granite bisected by a sawcut oriented at 30 degrees from vertical. Tests were conducted at a constant confining pressure of 30 MPa with a 10 MPa pore fluid pressure. The pore fluid was deionized water. Experiments were conducted at temperatures of 22, 100, 200, and 250 C. This data was collected to examine fault strength recovery in hydrothermal conditions.
