Abstract

In order to research the creep deformation characteristics of frozen soil and the effect of various influencing factors on creep, indoor uniaxial creep tests were carried out on frozen soil specimens at temperatures of −5, −4, −3 and −2 °C under loads of 0.25, 0.5, and 0.75 σ t , respectively. The creep deformation characteristics of frozen soil under different temperatures and load conditions are analyzed under unconfined conditions. The results show that under the uniaxial creep test conditions, when the load is low, there is no accelerated creep stage in the creep curve, which belongs to the decaying type creep; when the load is 0.75 σ t , the creep curve enters the stage of accelerated creep, and the creep turns non-attenuated; temperature is the most important external factor affecting permafrost soil creep, and the proportion of ice is the key internal factor for affecting permafrost soil creep, the temperature is negatively correlated with the proportion of ice and the sensitivity of creep rate to temperature and load increases with the decrease of the proportion of ice; the damage variable D is introduced to modify the creep constitutive equation of the frozen soil, the creep process of frozen soil is well described by the modified creep constitutive equation for frozen soil.
