SOUND VELOCITIES IN GULF OF MEXICO SEDIMENTS AS RELATED TO PHYSICAL PROPERTIES AND SIMULATED OVERBURDEN PRESSURES.
Abstract
Specific objectives of this investigation were: To measure the velocity of compressional waves (hereinafter called 'sound velocity' or 'velocity'): (a) in consolidated and unconsolidated sediments cored from the Gulf of Mexico; To investigate the physical and mechanical properties of these sediments; To examine the possibility of utilizing sound velocities to predict the physical and mechanical properties of these sediments; and To formulate porosity, bulk density, and velocity versus depth relationships for unconsolidated sediments in the Gulf of Mexico.
