French term or phrase: la pression de fluage
In a 'Cahier des Clauses Techniques', the term is used in the following sentence:
Section Heading= Reconnaissance par essais pressiométriques

(...) dans le cas de terrains raides (marne, craie, roches altérées), la pression d'essai maximale autorisée par l'appareil doit être suffisament élevée pour dépasser sensiblement **la pression de fluage**

For fluage my dictionaries give creep or flow.

We are therefore led to conclude that, while asperity creep under compression contributes significantly to the time- and velocity-dependent friction forces, it is not the whole story.
