Multi-Step Loading Creep Behavior of Red Sandstone after Thermal Treatments and a Creep Damage Model

Triaxial compressive creep tests were conducted on red sandstones after different thermal treatments. Subsequently, the thermal influence on the axial, lateral and volumetric creep curves under various stress levels was analyzed. The results show that both the instantaneous and time-based deformatio...
