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 …

Evaporite deposition and seafloor spreading are two salient geological processes in the
geological history of the Red Sea. We piece together the available evidence about rift …

When rock salt is subjected to discontinuous fatigue, time intervals (periods during which the
stress remains constant) can accelerate plastic deformation and reduce the fatigue life due …

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 …

Solution-mined caverns excavated in rock salt formations are recognized as the appropriate
places for underground storage of energy in the form of compressed air and hydrogen …

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 …

Salt rock is a sedimentary rock that is widely distributed in the crust. Since salt rock has a low
permeability, rheological behavior, and self-healing characteristics, it has been extensively …

To meet the requirements of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change,
ie, the Paris Agreement, countries around the world have developed carbon-peaking and …

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 …

Rock salt is considered to be a suitable host rock formation for radioactive waste
repositories. However, local stress changes caused by drift construction lead to the evolution …
