Outline of Final Research Achievements

Frictional property of rocks composed of a subducting oceanic plate is one of factors for controlling the diverse slip behavior from aseismic to seismogenic slip at the Japan Trench. Although alteration of fluid pressure in a fault zone during interseismic periods could occur in nature, the effects of fluid pressure on the fault parameters are not investigated systematically so far. Thus, we have conducted friction experiments on blueschist from Franciscan Belt, California and Westerly granite under high temperature and high pressure conditions and paid attention to how fault-stability parameters change with fluid pressure.
Blueschist rocks show a transition from stable to unstable behavior with decreasing effective normal stress, which is mechanically equivalent to increasing fluid pressure, whereas granite rocks show the opposite trend and stable at high pore pressure conditions. Our results might suggest that fault instability for the pore pressure depend on its materials.
