Utah FORGE: Direct Shear Test Data for Investigating Seismic Precursors to Shear Failure of Fractures

Dataset ·
DOI:https://doi.org/10.15121/2475628· OSTI ID:2475628

This dataset includes results of direct shear tests to investigate the mechanical and geophysical response of dry and saturated fractures in Indiana limestone and Sierra White granite. Direct shear tests were performed on tensile-induced fractures in Indiana limestone and Sierra White granite in a custom water-pressurized chamber. The provided Excel files include the representative seismic wave signals and the normalized wave amplitudes of ultrasonic wave transducers. A link to the published journal article presenting the data and describing the experiment in detail is provided as well.
