Artificially Simulating the Geological History of Clay.

Abstract

The research described in this report has been directed to the study of gravitational compaction of clay, by artificially simulating depositional and diagenetic processes in a high pressure cell which can currently impose axial pressures up to 10,000 psi and temperature up to 100 C.
