Raw mechanical and processed data for Bluersville Sandstone deformed under triaxial conditions, at different temperatures and timescales.

The data includes the raw mechanical data (time, load, displacement, pore pressure, pore pressure volume and confining pressure) and the meaningful processed data used to plot figures and draw main conclusions (stress, strain, strain rate, pore volume change, effective mean stress, inelastic strain, yield points and Youngs modulus). In total 10 samples of Bluersville Sandstone were deformed under either constant strain rate or constant stress (creep) conditions and at room temperature, 75°C, 150 °C. Bluersville Sandstone is from Bleurville, Vosges, north-eastern France. This pale beige coloured sandstone has a starting porosity of 22.7%Used as clean, porous sandstone of homogenous nature. Data generated at University College London on a conventional triaxial apparatus. This dataset is used and fully described/interpreted in the paper: M. Jefferd, N. Brantut, P.G. Meredith and T.M. Mitchell, The Influence of Elevated Temperature on Time Dependent Compaction Creep in Sandstone , submitted to J. Geophys. Res.
