Pore pressure embrittlement in a volcanic edifice

The failure mode of porous rock in compression—dilatant or compactant—is largely governed by the overlying lithostatic pressure and the pressure of pore fluids within the rock (Wong, Solid Earth 102:3009–3025, 1997 ), both of which are subject to change in space and time within a volcanic edifice.
