Since underground structures such as tunnels are inevitably surrounded by rocks, their long-
term safety and stability are primarily governed by the comportment of these materials. Being …

Rocks can deform at varying scales (nano-, micro-and macro-scale) under different
temperatures, pressures, stresses, and time conditions. Sub-core scale (nano-to micro …

The MTS815. 02 rock test system is used for performing triaxial compression creep
experiments on sandstone to reveal the rheological properties of the rock in deep roadways …

To explore the creep response and unloading rebound effect of salt rock, uniaxial
compression creep and unloading rebound tests are performed at different axial stresses on …

To study the creep property of salt rock, uniaxial compression creep tests on salt rock
specimens were carried out. The test results indicate that there is no steady creep of the salt …

Traditional creep models cannot describe the nonlinear creep characteristics of rock; thus,
considerable efforts have been made to establish better rock creep models. However, many …

Shear strength is an important mechanical index of rock. The adjustment and reorganization
of rock structure can be reflected by the variation of shear strength. During rock rheology, the …

To reasonably describe the time-dependent characteristics of rock under true triaxial
stresses and analyze the long-term stability of deep underground engineering, based on the …

An accurate characterization of rocks for the modelling of creep is an essential step toward
ensuring the safety with respect to reliability of underground rock engineering. In this work, a …
