abstract = {The International Ocean Discovery Program (IODP) is
currently exploring subduction and seismogenesis offshore
SW-Japan where earthquakes of magnitude 8.0 to 8.5 and
related tsunamis recur every 80-100 years. For the
tsunamigenic potential of the forearc slope and accreted
sediments their mechanical strength, composition and fabric
have been investigated. 19 drill core samples were
experimentally deformed in a triaxial cell under
consolidated and undrained conditions at confining pressures
of 400-1000 kPa, room temperature, axial shortening rates of
0.01-9.0 mm/min, and up to $64\%$ axial strain. Mechanically
weak samples show a deviatoric peak stress after only a few
percent strain (< $10\%)$ and a continuous stress decrease
after a maximum combined with a continuous increase in pore
pressure. Strong samples display a constant residual stress
at maximum level or even a continuous stress increase
together with a decrease in pore pressure towards high
strain. Synchrotron texture and composition analysis of the
experimentally deformed and undeformed samples using the
Rietveld refinement program MAUD indicates an increasing
strength of the illite and kaolinite textures with
increasing depth down to 523 m below sea floor.
Experimentally deformed samples have generally stronger
textures than related undeformed core samples and they show
also increasing strength of the illite and kaolinite
textures with increasing axial strain. When comparing
mechanically weak and strong samples it can be seen that the
weak samples have a bulk clay plus calcite content of 31-65
$vol.-\%$ and most of their illite, kaolinite, smectite and
calcite [001]-pole figures have maxima >1.5 mrd. Strong
samples which were deformed to approximately the same amount
of strain (up to $∼40\%)$ have no calcite and a bulk clay
content of 24-36 $vol.-\%.$ Illite, kaolinite and smectite
[001]-pole figure maxima are mostly <1.5 mrd, except for one
sample which was deformed to a considerably higher strain
$(64\%).$ The higher clay and calcite content and the
stronger textures of the mechanically weak samples can be
related to a collapsing pore space of the originally
flocculated clay aggregates. This process is not effective
in the strong samples, but it could be crucial for
earthquake rupture, surface breakage and tsunami
generation.},
