Summary

Laboratory flow-through tests were conducted during slide-hold-slide experiments in a conventional triaxial deformation configuration. Experiments were conducted on 1-inch diameter cylindrical cores of Westerly granite bisected by a sawcut oriented at 30 degrees from vertical. Tests were conducted at a constant confining pressure of 30 MPa with a 10 MPa pore fluid pressure. The pore fluid was deionized water. Experiments were conducted at temperatures of 22, 100, and 200 degC.
