In this study, creep characteristics of single stapled furniture joints made of Scotch pine, alder and beech wood under three different load levels were considered. Load levels were determined as 30 %, 40 % and 50 % of the maximum load obtained as a result of static shear test before creep load and applied to wood joints. Laboratory test results showed that the highest creep deformation was observed in the joints made of Scotch pine with the lowest density, while the lowest creep deformation was observed in the joints made of beech with the highest density. In addition, the joints were exposed to lowest creep deformation at the 30 % load level, then the creep deformation of the joints increased at 40 % load level and it reached the highest value at 50 % load level. As a result of creep test, deformation in single stapled joints made of Scotch pine, alder and beech were determined as 2.74 %, 3.71 % and 4.37 % of the deformation that occurred as a result of static shear test performed before creep test, respectively. Ultimately, the overall average creep deformation value of a single staple wood joint under creep loading was determined as 3.61 %.

To expand the application of bamboo as a building material, a new type of box section composite column that combined bamboo and steel was considered in this paper. The creep characteristics of eight bamboo-steel composite columns with different parameters were tested to evaluate the effects of load level, section size and interface type under long-term loading. Then, the deformation development of the composite column under long-term loading was observed and analyzed. In addition, the creep-time relationship curve and the creep coefficient were created. Furthermore, the creep model of the composite column was proposed based on the relationship between the creep of the composite column and the creep of bamboo, and the calculated value of creep was compared with the experimental value. The experimental results showed that the creep development of the composite column was fast at first, and then became stable after about 90 days. The creep characteristics were mainly affected by long-term load level and section size. The creep coefficient was between 0.160 and 0.190. Moreover, the creep model proposed in this paper was applicable to predict the creep development of bamboo-steel composite columns. The calculation results were in good agreement with the experimental results.

The seepage action of underground water accelerates the deformation of roadway surrounding rock in deep mines. Therefore, the study of creep characteristics of surrounding rock under seepage action is the basis for the stability control of roadway surrounding rock in deep water-rich areas. In this paper, a seepage-creep coupling test system for complete rock samples was established. Combined with a scanning electron microscopy (SEM) test system, the seepage-creep law of coal measures sandstone and the damage mechanism were revealed. The study results showed that the maximum creep deformation of sandstone under natural and saturation state decreased gradually with the increase of confining pressure, and the maximum creep deformation under saturation state was greater than the corresponding value under natural state when the confining pressure was same. When the confining pressure was constant, the creep deformation, the constant creep deformation rate and the accelerated creep deformation rate of sandstone increased rapidly with the increase of infiltration pressure. With the change of time, the change of permeability parameters went through three cycles; each cycle was divided into two stages, slow change stage and rapid change stage, and the rate of variation increased with the increase of the seepage pressure. Based on the macroscopic and microscopic characteristics of sandstone rupture, the connection between macroscopic and microscopic mechanism on sandstone rupture was established. The results in this paper can provide a theoretical basis for stability control of roadway surrounding rock in water-rich areas.

Under low stress conditions, when the load exerting on the mined-out areas roof is less than the rock long-term strength, the rock roof will generate some creep deformation. In order to prevent the roof of the mined-out areas suddenly collapse, and to ensure the operator and construction equipment above the mined-out areas safety, it is an important security technical problem to reveal the creep characteristics of the shallow mined-out areas roof. Taking the mined-out areas of Antaibao Surface Mine as background, considering the rheological properties of rock roof, and assuming the roof was a rectangular thick plate, the creep characteristics of mined-out areas roof were analysed by applying the thick plate theory and Kelvin creep model. The regression equation of the roof deflection increment over time was given, and the creep characteristics of the shallow mined-out areas roof were revealed also.

Compressive creep deformation of hot-pressed silicon nitride with different amounts of grain boundary glassy phase was investigated at 1300–1400 °C under 30–100 MPa. The stress exponent of the creep rate was determined to be nearly unity. The apparent activation energy of silicon nitride with a larger amount of glassy phase was measured to be about 700 kJ/mole, and that with a smaller amount of glassy phase was found to be 400 kJ/mole. In addition, the microstructural observation found that no cavity appeared and grain boundary glass was recrystallized during creep test. Thus, the rate-limiting steps in solution/precipitation creep mechanism change from the solution-reprecipitation of Si3N4 grains to the diffusion through the grain boundary with increasing the amount of glassy phase.

Abstract Low stress interrupted creep test, as an interim compromise, can provide essential data for creep deformation design. However, there are no clear guidelines on the characterization of the terminating time for interrupted low-stress creep test. To obtain a suitable terminating time in terms of economy and effectiveness, long-term creep strain data of 9%Cr steels are collected from literatures and their creep deformation characterization is analyzed. First, the variations of normalized time and strain of each creep stage with the stress level are discussed. Then, the effect of the terminating time on final fitted results of Norton–Bailey equation is estimated. Third, the relationship between demarcation points at different creep stages and minimum/steady-state creep rate is analyzed. The results indicate that when the creep rupture life is considered as an important factor for creep design, the tertiary creep stage is of greatest significance due to the largest life fraction and creep strain fraction at low stress level. However, the primary and secondary creep stages are of great significance for design due to their larger contribution to 1% limited creep strain. And the long-term secondary creep data could be extrapolated by combining the primary creep strain data obtained from interrupted creep tests with the time to onset of tertiary creep derived from a similar Monkman–Grant relationship.

Generally surrounding rocks of deep mine show the typical creep characteristics and the multi stage loading creep test of coal was carried out by MTS815 rock mechanical test system in this paper. Compared to the creep coefficient of other rocks, creep coefficient of coal is relatively small. Coal creep failure changes obviously when load level is higher than the threshold stress. The constitutive characteristics of creep failure of coal can be fitted preferably by the Cubic Polynomial.

A method is proposed for estimating structural creep deformation due to histories of cyclic proportional loading. The method applies to structures composed of materials whose creep strain due to constant uniaxial stress is given by an equation of the form ε(t)/ε0={σ/σ0}n{t/t0}m Knowledge of the form of the creep law for time-varying stress is not required, as use is made of an effective stress obtained from a single cyclic creep test.

In the Nanyang section of the midroute of the South-to-North Water Transfer Project, the expansive soil is often used as a filler for high-fill channels. After the channel is stabilized, the expansive soil undergoes creep deformation over time. Studying the creep characteristics of expansive soils in different environments is particularly important for evaluating the safe operation of high-fill channels. In the current study, the creep test of expansive soil under different moisture content and dry density was carried out. It is proposed that the slope of the fitted straight line in the compression curve of the expansive soil can be used to represent the secondary consolidation coefficient of unsaturated expansive soil, and the variation law of the secondary consolidation coefficient under different environmental factors is obtained. The modified Bjerrum calculation method considering the influence of additional load and lateral deformation yields the postexpansion soil settlement curve model to determine the control index range of the project site. Moreover, it is also observed that the secondary consolidation coefficient of unsaturated expansive soil increases with the increase of moisture content and decreases with the increase of dry density. The coefficient of secondary compression of unsaturated expansive soil is linearly related to dry density and moisture content. After the preconsolidation treatment of the expansive soil, when the load level is less than the preload, the secondary consolidation coefficient is smaller, otherwise the secondary consolidation coefficient is larger.
