Experimental Study on Creep Life of Granite under Direct Uniaxial Tension

Article Preview

Abstract:

Experiments of direct tension creep on granite under uniaxial tensile stress condition were conducted to study the behaviors of long-term deformation and characteristics of acoustic emission. Test results indicate that there exists linear relationship between minimum strain rate and creep life on log-log coordinate, and that relationship between minimum strain rate and remaining creep life is also linear on log-log plot. According to the relationships, equations were developed to predict tension creep life of rocks. In the tertiary creep stage, there exists inversely-proportional relationship between axial strain and residual life, and the relationship was used to estimate residual life of a rock material.
