| Research Abstract |
We have constructed 1m x 1m sand box experiment in which we can control with micron-meter order. As a result, wavy shaped frontal thrust disappeared but linear thrusts are formed. This indicates that the wavy shape is not caused by instability but by initial heterogeneity in sand layer. On the other hand, by preparing homogeneous sandlayer with uniform thickness, position and timing of frontal thrust formation become reproducible in each experiment.
