This study examines the microstructures and nanostructures of fault rock from a seismogenic normal fault within chert-banded dolostones. The fault slip surface exhibits various slip-related structures, including slickenlines, truncated clasts and nanoparticles/fragments. These nanoparticles on the fault slip surface are presented into two forms, single spherulitic nanoparticles (ranging in size from 50 to 300 nm) and agglomerated nanoparticles (ranging from 300 to 500 nm). The principal slip zone is characterized by cataclasites and micron-scale foliations. The cataclasite layer comprises a yellow-greyish matrix, grain-supported, and angular to sub-rounded coarser clasts which are composed primarily of dolomite, with a few clasts of quartz and calcite. The micron-scale foliations are defined by fine-grained fragments ranging from 1 to 20 μm. The microstructural investigations suggest that the single spherulitic nanoparticles may result from thermal decomposition of dolomite along the principal slip surface during fault slip or earthquake. Nano powder lubrication, facilitated by the rolling of single spherulitic nanoparticles, significantly weakens the fault during carbonate fault slip. The DEM simulation results indicate that the shear strength increases exponentially with the increasing volume percent of bonded nanoparticles. The transformation from single spherulitic nanoparticles into agglomerated/bonded nanoparticles through sintering can result in the recovery of frictional strength at the fault plane. The thin foliations in the slip zone are likely the results of laminar grain flow, possibly induced by CO<sub>2</sub> degassing. We inferred that nanoparticles can form through thermal decomposition on fault surfaces, which first facilitate and then inhibit earthquake behavior in thermally unstable rocks such as dolomite. The post-seismic strength recovery can be partly attributed to the formation of agglomerated nanoparticles.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":50035,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Structural Geology","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.6,"publicationDate":"2024-07-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141693058","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Three representative fault segments are modeled, accounting for movement obliquity forming in pure strike-slip, oblique convergence and oblique divergence scenarios. The elastoplastic constitutive model (Drucker-Prager) was employed to couple an associated flow rule into the initial stress state of a geostatic stage. We applied two empirical methods for determining the width of the damage zone from progressive model response. The first method involves using the plastic strain distribution curve's inflection points, to mathematically fixate the width. The second method uses the standard deviation obtained from a trend Gaussian/Normal probability distribution, with over 98% fit to the plastic strain curve data, simplifying the inference of the strain propagation along the model. The simulation results indicate inverse proportional relationships between confining pressure and both porosity and plastic strain intensity, while showing a direct proportional relationship with the damage zone width. For fault zone width quantification, results show convergence between the methods, revealing widths of 2.46–2.65 m for oblique divergence (displacement of 0.20 m), 2.65–3.55 m for pure strike-slip (displacement of 0.20 m), and 4.36–4.46 m for oblique convergence zones (displacement of 0.70 m).
