Axial load is applied rapidly to thespecimen and sustained. Deformation is monitored as a func-tion of elapsed time.

16、5. Significance and Use5.1 There are many underground structures that are createdfor permanent or long-term use. Often, these structures aresubjected to an approximately constant load. Creep testsprovide quantitative parameters for stability analysis of thesestructures.5.2 The deformation and streng

17、th properties of rock coresmeasured in the laboratory usually do not accurately reflectlarge-scale in situ properties, because the latter are stronglyinfluenced by joints, faults, inhomogeneities, weakness planes,and other factors. Therefore, laboratory values for intactspecimens must be employed wi

18、th proper judgment in engi-neering applications.NOTE 1Notwithstanding the statements on precision and bias con-tained in this test method; the precision of this test method is dependenton the competence of the personnel performing it, and the suitability of theequipment and facilities used. Agencies

19、 that meet the criteria of PracticeD 3740 are generally considered capable of competent and objectivetesting. Users of this test method are cautioned that compliance withPractice D 3740 does not in itself assure reliable testing. Reliable testingdepends on many factors; Practice D 3740 provides a me

20、ans of evaluatingsome of these factors.6. Apparatus6.1 Loading DeviceThe loading device shall be of suffi-cient capacity to apply load at a rate conforming to therequirements specified in 10.6 and shall be able to maintain thespecified load within 2 %. It shall be verified at suitable timeintervals

21、in accordance with the procedures given in PracticesE4and comply with the requirements prescribed in this testmethod.NOTE 2By definition, creep is the time-dependent deformation underconstant stress. The loading device is specified to maintain constant axialload and therefore, constant engineering s

22、tress. The true stress, however,decreases as the specimen deforms and the cross-sectional area increases.Because of the associated experimental ease, constant load testing isrecommended. However, the procedure permits constant true-stress test-ing, provided that the applied load is increased with sp

23、ecimen deformationso that true stress is constant within 2 %.6.2 Triaxial ApparatusThe triaxial apparatus shall consistof a chamber in which the test specimen may be subjected toa constant lateral fluid pressure and the required axial load. Theapparatus shall have safety valves, suitable entry ports

24、 forfilling the chamber, and associated hoses, gauges, and valves asneeded. Fig. 1 shows a typical test apparatus and associatedequipment.6.3 Triaxial Flexible MembraneThis membrane enclosesthe rock specimen and extends over the platens to preventpenetration by the confining fluid. A sleeve of natur

25、al orsynthetic rubber or plastic is satisfactory for room temperaturetests; however, metal or high-temperature rubber jackets suchas viton are usually required for elevated temperature tests. Themembrane shall be inert relative to the confining fluid and shallcover small pores in the sample without

26、rupturing whenconfining pressure is applied. Plastic or silicone rubber coat-ings may be applied directly to the sample, provided thesematerials do not penetrate and strengthen the specimen. Caremust be taken to form an effective seal where the platen andspecimen meet. Membranes formed by coatings s

27、hall besubject to the same performance requirements as elastic sleevemembranes.6.4 Triaxial Pressure-Maintaining DeviceA hydraulicpump, pressure intensifier, or other system of sufficient capac-ity to maintain constant the desired lateral pressure. Thepressurization system shall be capable of mainta

28、ining theconfining pressure constant to within 61 % throughout the test.The confining pressure shall be measured with a hydraulicpressure gauge or electronic transducer having an accuracy ofat least 61 % of the confining pressure, including errors due toreadout equipment, and a resolution of at leas

29、t 0.5 % of theconfining pressure.6.5 Confining-Pressure FluidsFor room temperature tests,hydraulic fluids compatible with the pressure-maintainingdevice should be used. For elevated temperature tests the fluidmust remain stable at the temperature and pressure levelsdesignated for the test.6.6 Elevat

30、ed-Temperature EnclosureThe elevated tem-perature enclosure may be either an enclosure that fits in theloading apparatus, an internal system that fits in the triaxialapparatus, or an external system encompassing the completetest apparatus. The enclosure may be equipped with humiditycontrol for testi

31、ng specimens in which the moisture content isto be controlled. For high temperatures, a system of heaters,insulation, and temperature measuring devices are normallyrequired to maintain the specified temperature. Temperatureshall be measured at three locations, with one sensor near thetop, one at mid

32、height, and one near the bottom of the specimen.The average specimen temperature based on the midheightsensor shall be maintained to within 61C of the required testtemperature. The maximum temperature difference betweenthe midheight sensor and either end sensor shall not exceed3C when measured under

33、 steady state temperature conditionsas defined in Section 6.6.NOTE 3An alternative to measuring the temperature at three locationsalong the specimen during the test is to determine the temperaturedistribution in a substitute specimen that has temperature sensors locatedin drill holes at a minimum of

34、 six positions: along both the centerline andspecimen periphery at midheight and at each end of the specimen. Thetemperature controller set point shall be adjusted to obtain steady-statetemperatures (see Section 10.5) in the substitute specimen that meet thetemperature requirements at each test temp

35、erature (the centerline tempera-ture at midheight shall be within 61C of the required test temperature,and all other specimen temperatures shall not deviate from this tempera-ture by more than 3C). The relationship between controller set point andsubstitute specimen temperature can be used to determ

36、ine the specimentemperature during testing, provided that the output of the temperaturefeedback sensor (or other fixed-location temperature sensor in the triaxialapparatus) is maintained constant within 61C of the required testtemperature. The relationship between temperature controller set point an

37、dsteady-state specimen temperature shall be verified periodically. Thesubstitute specimen is used solely to determine the temperature distribu-tion in a specimen in the triaxial apparatus; it is not to be used to determinecreep behavior.D70700826.7 Temperature Measuring DeviceSpecial limits-of-error

38、thermocouples or platinum resistance thermometers (RTDs)having accuracies of at least 61C with a resolution of 0.1C.6.8 PlatensTwo steel platens are used to transmit the axialload to the ends of the specimen. They shall have a hardness ofnot less than 58 HRC. One of the platens should be spherically

39、seated and the other a plain rigid platen. The bearing faces shallnot depart from a plane by more than 0.015 mm when theplatens are new and shall be maintained within a permissiblevariation of 0.025 mm. The diameter of the spherical seat shallbe at least as large as that of the test specimen but sha

40、ll notexceed twice the diameter of the test specimen. The center ofthe sphere in the spherical seat shall coincide with that of thebearing face of the specimen. The spherical seat shall beproperly lubricated to ensure free movement. The movableportion of the platen shall be held closely in the spher

41、ical seat,but the design shall be such that the bearing face can be rotatedand tilted through small angles in any direction. If a sphericalseat is not used, the bearing faces of the platens shall beparallel to 0.0005 mm/mm of platen diameter.6.8.1 Hard Rock SpecimensThe platen diameter shall beat le

42、ast as great as the specimen but shall not exceed thespecimen diameter by more than 1.50 mm. This platen diam-eter shall be retained for a length of at least one-half thespecimen diameter.6.8.2 Soft Rock SpecimensThe platen diameter shall be atleast as great as the specimen but shall not exceed the

43、specimendiameter by more than 10 % of the specimen diameter. Becausesoft rocks can deform significantly in creep tests, it is importantto reduce friction in the platen-specimen interfaces to facilitaterelative slip between the specimen ends and the platens.Effective friction-reducing precautions inc

44、lude polishing theplaten surfaces to a mirror finish and attaching a thin, 0.15 mmthick teflon sheet to the platen surfaces.6.9 Strain/Deformation Measuring DevicesThe strain/deformation measuring system shall measure the strain with aresolution of at least 25 3 10-6strain and an accuracy within2 %

45、of the value of readings above 250 3 10-6strain andaccuracy and resolution within 5 3 10-6for readings lowerthan 250 3 10-6strain, including errors introduced by excita-tion and readout equipment. The system shall be free fromnoncharacterizable long-term instability (drift) that results inan apparen

46、t strain rate of 10-8/s.NOTE 4The user is cautioned about the influence of pressure andtemperature on the output of strain and deformation sensors located withinthe triaxial environment.6.9.1 Axial Strain DeterminationThe axial deformationsor strains may be determined from data obtained by electrica

47、lresistance strain gauges, compressometers, linear variableFIG. 1 Test ApparatusD7070083differential transformers (LVDTs), or other suitable means. Thedesign of the measuring device shall be such that the averageof at least two axial strain measurements can be determined.Measuring positions shall be

48、 equally spaced around the cir-cumference of the specimen close to midheight. The gaugelength over which the axial strains are determined shall be atleast 10 grain diameters in magnitude.6.9.2 Lateral Strain DeterminationThe lateral deforma-tions or strains may be measured by any of the methodsmenti

49、oned in 6.9.1. Either circumferential or diametric defor-mations (or strains) may be measured. A single transducer thatwraps around the specimen can be used to measure the changein circumference. At least two diametric deformation sensorsshall be used if diametric deformations are measured. Thesesensors shall be equally spaced around the circumference of thespecimen close to midheight. The average deformation (orstrain) from the diametric sensors shall be recorded. Theaverage lateral strain may also be determined from dilatometricmeasurements of volumet
