Experimental Study on the Creep Behavior of Red Sandstone under Low Temperatures by Yongjun Song, Leitao Zhang, Huimin Yang, Jianxi Ren, Yongxin Che

“…A decrease in temperature reduces the instantaneous and creep deformations of the rocks at all levels of stress. In addition, a decrease in temperature exponentially attenuates the total creep and viscoplastic strains of the rocks. 0°C is a critical point for the reduction of the total creep and viscoplastic strains of the rocks. …”
