Abstract: Oil sand is a dense granular material with interlocking fabric. As a strain-softening material, oil sand exhibits a more complex creep behavior than that of strain-hardening geomaterials. The creep behavior of oil sand ...

Abstract: Soil exhibits creep behavior, in which the deformation of soil develops with time at a state of constant effective stress. A series of triaxial compression creep tests was performed on a saturated till to investigate the ...

Abstract: The transverse isotropic (TI) creep behavior of rocks was investigated using laboratory tests and constitutive modelling. Triaxial stepwise and multiple-stage creep tests were performed to investigate the TI creep behavior ...

Abstract: The structure of the layered rocks is characterized by oriented bedding planes, resulting in transverse isotropy in deformation and strength. An elastoplastic constitutive model was proposed for transversely isotropic (TI) ...
