Organised by Matthias Klinkmuller (University of Bern),
Matthias Rosenau (GFZ Potsdam), David Boutelier (GFZ Potsdam),
Helga Kemnitz (GFZ Potsdam) and Guido Schreurs
(University of Bern).
The material properties are determined by Matthias Rosenau
and Matthias Klinkmuller using the facilities at GFZ Potsdam.
The properties of sand are determined with the
Schulze Ring-Shear Tester
(http://www.dietmar-schulze.de/fre.html).
The computer-controlled Ring-Shear Tester RST-01.pc serves for
determining the frictional properties of granular materials
including the angle of internal friction for fault initiation
(first peak strength), fault reactivation (second peak strength)
and fault sliding (dynamic-stable strength).
The Schulze Ring-Shear Tester is certified and the
apparatus and measuring procedure is described in a standard available
from ASTM international (document nr. ASTM D6773-02;
http://www.astm.org).
The bulk modulus is measured with a uniaxial
compression tester at GFZ Potsdam.
The following parameters are determined:
The viscosity of silicone materials is determined with a
Rheometer RC 20.1.

in the description of the
GeoMod2008 experiments.
