A Nonlinear Creep Model of Rock Salt and Its Numerical Implement in FLAC3D

Creep characteristics are integral mechanical properties of rock salt and are related to both long-term stability and security of rock salt repository. Rock salt creep properties are studied in this paper through employing combined methods of theoretical analysis and numerical simulation with a nonl...
