摘要

In order to study the main controlling factors of deformation generated by double decollements, three sets of sand-box models were devised to physically simulate the main controlling factors including the material for double decollements, thickness and viscosity of double decollements, thickness of overlying sand and stress boundary condition. The results showed that different materials for double decollements produced different sets of structure styles. Imbricate wedges thrusting forward were developed and governed by the lower decollement made up of micro glass beads, the more thickness of upper decollement and overlying sand above the decollement consisted of micro glass heads were, the easier detachment fault developed, and the larger included angle between compression direction and stress boundary was, the easier to generate detachment fault along upper decollement with faster horizontal migration of thrust wedge.
