Abstract: The creep characteristics of calcareous sand under different stress levels and gradations were examined in the study through a series of one-dimensional creep tests using a self-designed acrylic model box. The results demonstrate that, under confined conditions with the same particle gradation, the creep strain and creep rate of calcareous sand increase with the increase of creep stress. Under the same creep stress, the overall creep rate exhibits a nonlinear attenuation over time. Additionally, as the coefficient of uniformity C u of calcareous sand increases, the content of fine particles increases which can fill in the spaces between the larger particle skeletons, resulting in an increase in interparticle locking and a decrease in particle breakage, hence, the creep deformation is inhibited. That is, the creep rate and creep strain of calcareous sand decrease with an increase in C u . Optimizing the particle gradation can effectively reduce creep in calcareous sand.
