Utah FORGE: Fluid Injection Induced Shearing Experiments on Fractured Granitoid at Elevated Temperatures

This repository contains experimental data from a series of fluid injection-induced shearing tests conducted on Utah FORGE granitoid. The experiments were performed using an aluminum triaxial pressure vessel (TEMCO) apparatus at Pennsylvania State University. The primary aim was to investigate the impact of temperature on fault seismicity and to explore how different pre-stress ratios influence shearing behavior. The data includes results from experiments conducted under varying conditions of temperature, pre-stress ratios, and pore pressure increments. The rock samples used in these experiments were 60-grit granitoid with a single inclined fracture oriented at 60 degrees with respect to the horizontal cross-section. The dataset also includes measurements of normal stiffness at different temperatures and images of the experimental apparatus. The included README file details each experiential setup and outlines which data files represent which experimental conditions.

本存储库收录了一系列关于犹他FORGE花岗岩在流体注入诱导剪切试验中的实验数据。试验采用铝制三轴压力容器（TEMCO）装置，在宾夕法尼亚州立大学进行。主要目标在于探究温度对断层地震活动的影响，以及不同预应力比对剪切行为的影响。数据集包含在不同温度、预应力比和孔隙压力增量条件下的实验结果。实验所用的岩石样品为60目花岗岩，具有一个与水平横截面成60度倾斜的单个裂隙。此外，数据集还包括不同温度下的法向刚度测量值和实验装置的图像。所附的README文件详细描述了每个实验设置，并概述了哪些数据文件代表哪些实验条件。
