Abstract
ABSTRACT Calculations Based on confined compression tests carried out with lime mud indicate that compaction of this material may produce secondary dips of 60° or more in overlying beds if the material surrounds a relatively incompressible core whose slopes are as steep as 75°. The secondary dips are of course gentler if the slopes of the core are less steep. A comparison of the data for the lime mud with similar data for a lean and for a fat clay, and with the observed void ratios of deeply buried shale, indicates that the compaction of this lime mud may be at least as great as that of a lean clay, and possibly as great as that of a medium clay.
