In areas where salt layers are affected by compressional tectonic regimes, when folding is not enough to shorten the overburden, additional shortening(pop-up structures) is developed in the crest of anticline structures to accommodate the sediments to new volume conditions. 3, record 1, English, - pop%2Dup%20structure
Record number: 1, Textual support number: 2 CONT
The mechanical behaviour of a "pop-up" in a layered, near-surface rock formation under compression is examined by treating it as a one-way buckling problem in which a compressed flat plate lying on a horizontal substrate can suddenly buckle upward. 4, record 1, English, - pop%2Dup%20structure

Le comportement mécanique d'une structure de soulèvement, ou «pop-up», sous l'influence de la compression à la surface d'une formation rocheuse en couches est examiné en la traitant comme un problème de flambage unidimensionnel dans lequel une plaque en compression reposant sur un substrat peut soudainement flamber vers le haut. 10, record 1, French, - structure%20de%20soul%C3%A8vement
