First experiments where shear stress, pore pressure and permeability are simultaneously measured during a dehydration reaction.
Dehydration product is preferentially localized along R1 Riedel shears.
Gypsum dehydration induces transient slip weakening controlled by permeability and pore-fluid pressure evolution.
Fluid pressure pulse can be generated by permeability changes during gypsum dehydration.
Conditions necessary for unstable slip during dehydration are identified.
