Journal ArticleStabilizing Effect of High Pore Fluid Pressure on Fault Growth During Drained DeformationZega, Zachary; Zhu, WenluKey Points High pore fluid pressure stabilizes fault propagation in porous sandstone deformed under drained conditions Slow faulting was associated with pervasive microcracking and diffuse shear bands only in samples deformed sufficiently slow Pervasive subcritical cracking enables slow faulting at high pore fluid pressure under drained conditions at the sample scaleWiley2023-08-0110465072Journal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth12882169-9313https://doi.org/10.1029/2023JB0265361761912; 2218314National Science Foundation
