description Abstract Accurate mastery of the creep characteristics of unsaturated saline soil is extremely important for the long-term stability and safe operation of all types of buildings. In this paper, the research object focused on the saline soil of the Zhangye area, Hexi corridor. The indoor triaxial CU creep test was carried out by means of graded loading to study the creep characteristics of saline soil under different salt content and loading stress. The Merchant and Burgers models were used to predict the creep behavior of the saline soils, and the predicted results were compared with the experimental values. The results showed that the triaxial creep curve of saline soil developed in stage III. Namely, transient creep stage, deceleration creep stage and steady-state creep stage. The creep deformation increases with the increase of salt content and loading stress. The stress–strain isochronous curve has non-linear growth, and the cluster of curves develops from dense to sparse after increasing to long-term strength (100∼150 kPa). The parameters of the Merchant and Burgers model vary with salt content and loading stress, and the creep curve predicted by the Burgers model is closer to the test value.
