Abstract
Fluid Pressure in Porous Media -- Its Importance in Geology: A Review
ABSTRACT
An attempt is made to summarize the importance of the pore-fluid pressure in porous rocks. Normal versus abnormal fluid pressures are discussed. The causes of abnormal fluid pressures are described and the theretical upper limit of such pressures is reviewed. The significance of the pore-fluid pressure in terms of physical parameters such as the sonic velocity, the electrical resistivity and the mechanical behaviour is reviewed. Also discussed is the effect of the pore-fluid pressure on such phenomena as landslides, overthrusts, formation of open joints, sedimentary structures and pressure solution.
