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 …

To better understand the creep mechanical behavior of salt rock under very long-term tests
and more accurately predict the long-term deformation of the salt caverns, a series of long …

Accurate estimation and modeling of rock behavior during creep is an essential step to
ensure reliability safety in the engineering of underground structures. In this work we …

The rock surrounding salt caverns used in a compressed air energy storage (CAES) system
experiences the combined creep and fatigue load during an operation period, which …

The mechanical characteristics and gas tightness of salt rock play a decisive role in the
safety evaluation of salt caverns. Triaxial compression coupled permeability tests were …

We conducted research on the influence of periodic thermal loading on the shear behavior
of sandstone through a series of direct shear tests with the aid of acoustic emission …

Aiming at the disadvantage that the traditional creep model cannot describe the nonlinear
creep acceleration stage (third-order creep stage) of rock. This paper explains the creep …

This paper intend to describe the entire creep process of a salt rock under triaxial loading,
especially the creep characteristics in the accelerated creep stage, by replacing the …

Understanding the hydraulic coupling creep mechanical behavior of carbonaceous
mudstones and their macro and micro fracture mechanisms is important for rock engineering …

The long-term stability control of surrounding rock of deep high-stress soft rock tunnel has
always been the research hotspot and difficulty of underground engineering. With the …
