Abstract:This study aims at deriving the effective poroelastic properties of the oolitic limestones based on the Hashin composite sphere assemblage (CSA) micromechanical theory. The microstructure of oolitic limestones generally exhibits an assemblage of grains (oolites) surrounded by a matrix. Grain and matrix are linked via the interfacial transition zone (ITZ). Pores exist in these three material phases (oolite, ITZ and matrix). A two-step homogenization method is proposed. The first step consists of upscaling the p… Show more
