A Fractional Creep Constitutive Model for Frozen Soil in Consideration of the Strengthening and Weakening Effects by Feng Hou, Quanming Li, Enlong Liu, Cheng Zhou, Mengke Liao, Huiwu Luo, Xingyan Liu

“…The triaxial creep tests of frozen silty clay mixed with sands were performed under different pressures, and the test results demonstrated that, under the low confining pressure, when the shear stress is lower than the long-term strength, the test specimen exhibits an attenuation creep because the strengthening effect is greater than the weakening effect. When the shear stress is higher than the long-term strength, the test specimen exhibits a nonattenuation creep due to the level of the strengthening and weakening effects change in different stages. …”
