New Creep Constitutive Model for Soft Rocks and Its Application in the Prediction of Time-Dependent Deformation in Tunnels

Abstract Creep often occurs in tunnels excavated in soft rocks and it poses a risk to the long-term stability of the excavation. To derive measures for the effective mitigation of the risk, it is important to understand the time-dependent damage mechanism governing the deformation behavior of the su...
