| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Based on the assumption that cyclic loadings may be a main reason for the formation of décollement, siltstone and remolded Fujinomori clay are tested with static/dynamic loads. Meanwhile, anisotropy of magnetic susceptibility (AMS) and SEM are also measured to check the changes of micro-structure of the tested specimen. It is found that no major fabric variation happened though deformation occurred due to cyclic loadings, which is exactly the same as the characteristics of décollement. Furthermore, the process of the oceanic plate subducting beneath into continental plate and the dynamic loading of earthquake are simulated by numerical tests to investigate their influence on décollement. It is found that, the simulated results are similar to the observed micro-structural characteristics of décollement. In other words, the repeated dynamic loading due to earthquake is apparently the main mechanism to form the décollement zone.
