摘要: This paper analyses crack patterns in argillaceous rocks induced by time-dependent mechanical loadings. To achieve this, thin sections were extracted from specimens after strain-rate-controlled compression tests and creep tests. The microstructural observations, made using an optical microscope a scanning electron microscope, highlighted the fact that failure modes of are dependent on rate loading. For slow-loading rates, macroscopic deformations appear to be mainly due development sub-vertical network persistent macrocracks matrix, whereas for fast-loading tests, second microcracks appears, controlled rock’s structural anisotropy. When undergo fast loading, observed is more brittle with cataclastic deformation grain crushing evidence within samples. Observations width orientations clearly show how influence rock prope...
