The Effects of Pore Pressure on the Mechanical and Physical Properties of Shales Effets de la pression de pore sur les propriétés physiques et mécaniques des argilites

The title of this paper immediately raises two questions: what is meant by a shale, and what is meant by pore pressure in a shale? I will provide incomplete but workable answers to each of these, and discuss how the structure of shales influences their mechanical and physical properties. <br>...
