Creep Energy Evolution of Red-Bed Soft Rocks in South China under Chemical-Stress-Seepage Coupling by Shuguang Zhang, Fanyao Peng, Yingbo Li, Zhifeng Liu, Wenbo Liu

“…In order to reveal its creep characteristics and mechanism under complex conditions, a step-loading creep test was carried out under chemical-stress-seepage coupling, and the energy evolution law of the whole creep process was analyzed based on linear energy storage and energy dissipation theory. The results also show that the acid chemical solution has the greatest influence on the triaxial strength and creep strength, and the creep damage and energy evolution of red-bed soft rock are universal. …”
