47 Conclusions Compaction bands are predicted to occur on portions of the cap surface where they are (roughly) observed to occur. Predictions are roughly consistent with lab data but do not agree very well quantitatively. Need for better constitutive data and modeling and a better understanding of the micromechanical factors affecting macroscopic response. More complex load paths (now being used) should be more useful for constraining constitutive models.
48 Conclusions A simple fracture and dislocation model indicates a (surprising) consistency between lab and field data. Model is, however, speculative since little information is available on the initiation and propagation of bands in the field. Field and laboratory observations of the breakdown process near the tip of bands would be helpful in constructing more elaborate models.
49 Questions How do lab, field and theoretical results fit together? What properties (or factors) other than porosity affect compaction band formation? What is a good physical microstructural model? How do microscale properties and lithology translate to macroscopic material (constitutive) behavior? What controls band thickness (and changes in thickness), spacing and deviations from planarity? If bands formed under saturated conditions how does interaction of fluid flow with deformation affect formation and extension? How do we model the transition from initial band formation to extension of a fully formed band?
