Abstract
To study the rock physics models for the soft sedimentary rocks widely distributed in Japan, the sandy shale model of the bimodal mixture model which has been proposed for sedimentary rocks is applied to the seismic P‐ and S‐wave velocity, density and porosity data. This model is a granular rock model represented by two different size grains, in which the macroscopic geophysical properties can be derived from microscopic interaction of the grains. The application of this model to the data obtained in four different soft sedimentary rocks reveals that this model can possibly represent the remarkable features of this type of rock that the elastic constant strongly depends on its grain size distribution and the confining pressure.
