Creep characteristics of soft rock and modelling of creep in tunnel : determination of creep characteristics of soft rock and development of non-linear creep analysis code for squeezing tunnel problem

Squeezing or time-dependent creep deformation of rock has been encountered frequently in tunnels. It is particularly common in tunnels excavated in very soft rock or heavily fractured rock under significant in-situ stresses. In Taiwan, due to the inferior geological setting and the young sedimentary...
