Artificially Simulating the Geological History of Clay.
Abstract
This report is concerned with the description of the development and research application of a high pressure consolidation cell, designed to simulate the progressive burial of clay sediments. The results of a series of 9 high pressure tests, 4 low pressure tests with elevated temperature and 4 constant rate of strain tests are presented. These results include information on the e-log p relationships, variations in pore pressure, and pore water chemistry and fabric changes; preliminary explanations of the observed phenomena are offered. Attention is drawn to geological implications and reference also made to future trends in the research program.
