Abstract:
The creep characteristics of rock under step loading and unloading conditions were investigated in this study. Based on the generalized Burgers model, the total strain of rock was decomposed into elastic, viscoelastic, varying-parameter viscoelastic, and viscoplastic strains considering the damage. The four strains were connected in series to establish a new varying-parameter creep damage model that can characterize the creep characteristics of rock under step loading and unloading conditions as well as identify and verify the model parameters. The study results showed that the varying-parameter creep damage model could better describe the creep characteristics of rock under step loading and unloading conditions, significantly the non-linear both the strain and time of attenuation creep and accelerated creep. The model fitting curve was highly consistent with the experimental data, and the correlation coefficient R2 was greater than 0.98, which thoroughly verified the accuracy and rationality of the model. These findings can provide theoretical support for analyzing the deformation and long-term stability of rock and soil.
