Anisotropic time-dependent behaviors of shale under direct shearing and associated empirical creep models

Understanding the anisotropic creep behaviors of shale under direct shearing is a challenging issue. In this context, we conducted shear-creep and steady-creep tests on shale with five bedding orientations (i.e. 0°, 30°, 45°, 60°, and 90°), under multiple levels of direct shearing for the first time...
