4.4.1. Mechanical Properties

The Schneider's law and its tensor extension were used with specific coe fficients for each lithological type, in order to model di fferent compaction behaviors (plots available in Figure A1 in the Appendix A). These coe fficients were all calibrated to be perfectly consistent in hydrostatic conditions with the Porosity–Depth tables used in the backstripping restoration. In addition, the whole

model was given a solid density of 2.7 <sup>g</sup>·cm<sup>−</sup><sup>3</sup> and a Poisson's ratio of 0.32, seen as average values for well-consolidated siliciclastic sediments [86,87].
