Characterization and modeling of long-term stress–strain behavior of water confined pre-saturated gypsum rock in Kurdistan Region, Iraq

In order to understand the effects of soaking time and confined water pressure on the strength of rock due to dissolution of gypsum, rock samples with 96% of gypsum content collected from Kurdistan Region in northern Iraq were investigated. Laboratory tests were then performed on the normal gypsum r...
