THE CREEP OF ROCKS

A CLASSIFICATION OF ROCKS IS HERE PRESENTED, BASED ON THEIR RHEOLOGICAL BEHAVIOR. THIS CLASSIFICATION RESTS ON THE ONE HAND ON A LARGE NUMBER OF COMPRESSIVE - UNIAXIAL TRIAXIAL - TESTS CONCERNING VARIOUS ROCKS, AND ON THE OTHER HAND ON THE SIMULTANEOUS ANALYSIS OF THE LONGITUDINAL AND TRANSVERSE DEFORMATIONS OF THESE ROCKS. THREE RHEOLOGICAL TYPES ARE DISTINGUISHED' /1/ BRITTLE ELASTIC ROCKS, /2/ VISCOELASTIC ROCKS WITH CONTRACTION, AND /3/ VISCOPLASTIC ROCKS. FOR THIS THIRD TYPE, THE PROBLEM OF DEFERRED FAILURE IS DEALT WITH. /AUTHOR/
