This thesis aims at studying the thermo-poro-mechanical properties of fault rock materials by means of field analysis of an exhumed fault and laboratory experiments, in order to determine the processes responsible of the efficiency of two thermally-activated slip-weakening mechanisms: the thermal pressurization and the moisture-drained weakening mechanism. The field study was conducted on well-exposed outcrops of a potentially active strike-slip fault that belongs to the Western Chugoku fault system (Japan): the Usukidani fault. The experimental work was conducted in the rock deformation laboratory at Kyoto University. The primary results of this research are exposed below. The hydrological and poroelastic properties of gouge and breccia of...
