Importance of precipitation on the slowdown of creep behaviour induced by pressure-solution
Alexandre Sac-Morane, Hadrien Rattez, Manolis Veveakis
Pressure-solution is a chemo-mechanical process, involving dissolution at grain/asperity contacts and precipitation away from them. It induces a compaction in time of rocks and sed…
