“…By increasing the pore fluid pressure, ( a‐b ) also increased—at pore fluid pressures above 25 MPa, changes in σ n eff had little effect on ( a‐b ) (Bedford et al., 2021). The change in phyllosilicate behavior between dry and wet conditions, which is significant in kaolinite, lizardite and chlorite, has been well documented and may account for the opposing trends in the literature (Bedford et al., 2021; Behnsen & Faulkner, 2012; Han et al., 2020; Moore & Lockner, 2004; Saffer & Marone, 2003).…”
