A well-developed fault is represented by a layer of granular material (fault gouge) confined between two competent fault blocks. Slip on this type fault involves plastic shearing of the fault gouge. The fault gouge behaves as a Coulomb material and the plastic flow is accomplished by slip on the two sets of Coulomb shears appropriate to the stress state and the frictional properties of the gouge.
