Thick evaporite masses (bedded and halokinetic) dominated by the mineral halite, are
currently mined using conventional solution mining techniques. After excavation, the …

Rock salt has excellent properties for its use as underground leak‐proof containers for the
storage of renewable energy. Salt solution mining has long been used for salt mining, and …

We performed a complete set of laboratory experiments on a rock salt specimen to study the
complex evolution of gas permeability under different loading conditions. The porosity of the …

A promising option for storing large-scale quantities of green gases (eg, hydrogen) is in
subsurface rock salt caverns. The mechanical performance of salt caverns utilized for long …

Thin‐skinned fold‐and‐thrust belts related to convergence tectonics develop by scra** off
a rock sequence along a weaker basal décollement often formed by water‐saturated shale …

Understanding the consolidation behavior of granular salt is of great significance for salt
cavern repository design and the corresponding long-term safety assessments. To evaluate …

The objective of this paper is to assess the creep law of natural salt in a small deviatoric
stress range. In this range, creep is suspected to be much faster than what is predicted by …

This paper presents the application of a fast Fourier transform (FFT) based method to solve
two phase field models designed to simulate crack growth of strongly anisotropic materials …

We present a first look at the large-scale, complexly folded and faulted internal structure of
Zechstein salt bodies in NW Europe using 3D reflection seismic reflection data from two …

Layered evaporite sequences (LESs) comprise interbedded weak layers (halite and,
commonly, bittern salts) and strong layers (anhydrite and usually non-evaporite rocks such …
