The Primary Controls over Sediment Compaction

ABSTRACT
Mineralogic composition is the primary control over sediment compaction. Near-surface sediments and
sedimentary rocks compact in proportion to the effective stress load applied to the grain matrix framework.
The load borne by the grain framework is a volumetric force-balance relationship within and
between solid particles. Mineral ionic bonds bear the load within particles and across direct grain-grain
contacts. Electrostatic repulsive forces between negatively charged clay mineral particles also bears a
part of the effective stress load.
