We investigated the effect of pore pressurePfnear the brittle‐plastic transition (BPT) for a halite (NaCl) shear zone. Our series of precut friction experiments with a gas‐medium apparatus with temperatureT≤ 200°C, confining gas pressurePc≤ 150 MPa andPf≤ 140 MPa, revealed that a tanh connection between the brittle and plastic regimes works well even at elevatedPf, with a coefficient forPfin an effective stress lawαbeing unity. Plastic deformation around the real contacts independent of the mean stress results inα= 1 regardless of the ratio of the real contact areaAr/A. The functional dependency of the shear strength on the effective normal stress may deviate from a linear dependency with increasingAr/A. The present findings support a smooth transition in a hypothetical steady state strength profile around a BPT, providing new insights in geologically obtained paleostress data in exhumed mylonitic shear zones.
