Chinese Rock Strength and Creep Data Under High Pressure and Temperature

Chinese Rock Rheology Data from WDC Geophysics/Beijing provides petrophysical measurements on various rock types. The dataset includes strength, dilatancy, creep, and stress-strain relations for granite, gabbro, peridotite, and shales under controlled conditions. It was compiled by the organization SCIOPS and sourced from the NASA Earthdata platform.

Use Cases

• Model granite and gabbro stress-strain relations using data from tests at pressures up to 400 MPa and temperatures up to 400 deg. C.
• Analyze peridotite creep behavior under extreme conditions of up to 3 GPa and 1500 deg. C for mantle rheology studies.
• Investigate the effects of water-pressure on sandstone rheology for applications in reservoir engineering.
• Study time-dependent deformation and strength properties of shales for stability assessments in geotechnical projects.
• Examine dilatancy in granite fractures to understand crack propagation and failure mechanics.

Strengths

• Covers multiple critical rock types including granite, gabbro, peridotite, and shales.
• Reports experimental data under high-pressure conditions up to 3 GPa and high temperatures up to 1500 deg. C.

Limitations

• Specific sample sizes, row counts, and measurement uncertainties are not provided.
• The geographic origin of the rock samples and the experimental methodology details are unspecified.
