Abstract: Triaxial compression creep tests were performed on carbonaceous slate samples obtained from Muzhailing tunnel of Lanzhou-Chongqing railway in order to understand the creep characteristics of carbonaceous slate with different angle between bedding planes and axial load. Based on the test results, a creep model was proposed to describe the transversely isotropic creep behavior of the carbonaceous slate, which needs more parameters in the creep potential function to describe the transversely isotropic creep behavior than in the conventional potential function. A method for the determination of creep parameters was developed using back analysis, which is helpful in reducing the number of creep tests needed to determine the creep parameters and is applicable in practice. This study contributes to the understanding of the transversely isotropic behavior of rocks and to the design of the lining system in the transversely isotropic stratum.

Key words: carbonaceous slate, transverse isotropy, creep behavior, creep model, back analysis, bedding plane
