Effect of confining pressure on mechanical behavior of methane hydrate-bearing sediments

Synthesized gas hydrate in lab was mixed with kaoline to form core samples, so as to simulate the hydrate-bearing sedimentary layers in the seabed. Under conditions of different confining pressure, triaxial compressive tests were conducted on hydrate-bearing sediments with different volume content o...
