Shear zone is widely observed in natural faults, landslides, and laboratory experiments. Understanding the evolution of shear zones in granular materials is crucial in studying the dynamics of landslides and faults. In this study, ring-shear experiments and high-resolution X-ray CT were used to investigate the evolution of strain localization and shear-zone internal structure in cohesive and non-cohesive granular materials. The results revealed that shear displacement led to rounding of large particles inside the shear zone and the formation of fine-particle layers on either side of the shear zone during shear localization.
Shear zone is widely observed in natural faults and landslides as well as laboratory experiments on granular material. Understanding the shear-zone evolution process in granular materials is crucial in studying the dynamics of the landslides and faults. However, it is still not well understood. To this end, we conducted a series of ring-shear experiments to investigate the evolution of strain localization and shear-zone internal structure in cohesive and non-cohesive granular materials. The quantitative evaluation was conducted by using high-solution X-ray computed tomography (CT). The analyses included visualization of shear-zone internal structure and quantification of particle shapes, orientations, and grain-size distributions at different shear strain levels. We found that with the increase of shear displacement, the large particles inside the shear zone became more and more rounded, but without an orientation, wear and attrition resulted in an abundance of nanoparticles within the shear zones. We also found fine-particle layers (nanoparticle layers) formed on either side of shear zones during shear localization, implying that shear development progressed from a shear zone to an interface. These findings offer some new understanding of the evolution of shear zones in granular materials.
