“…We adopted the conventional method of sandbox experiments (Mulugeta, 1988;Mulugeta andKoyi, 1987, 1992;Huiqi et al 1992;Marshak and Wilkerson, 1992;Mandal et al 1997;Bose et al 2009). Dry non-cohesive natural sand (Coulomb material) with an average grain size of less than 500 mm, bulk density r = 1.6 gm/cm 3 and internal co-efficient of friction, µ = 0.57 (Hubbert, 1951;Davis et al 1983) was used as an experimental material.…”

“…Loose sand materials provide a better approximation for scaled model experiments for large-scale brittle deformations in the uppermost crust (Davis et al 1983;Mulugeta, 1988;Liu et al 1992;Mandal et al 1997). Models were prepared by sieving alternate layers of sand of contrasting colours as used by the earlier workers (Davis et al 1983;Mulugeta, 1988;Liu et al 1992;Mandal et al 1997;Marques and Cobbold, 2002;Lujan et al 2003;Koyi, 1995;Yamada et al 2006;Bose et al 2009). Sand masses were sieved on a horizontal rigid base to form a layered sand bed.…”

“…Basal friction is directly proportional with critical taper of the wedge (Mulugeta, 1988). The larger is the basal friction, the more numerous are the thrusts in the wedge and the smaller is the thrust spacing (Bose et al, 2009). Most importantly basal friction controls fluid pressure in the wedge (Davis et al, 1983).…”
