Experimental Study on Creep Characteristics of Unloaded Rock Masses for Excavation of Rock Slopes in Cold Areas

Seasonal freeze–thaw environments are one of the key factors that aggravate the mechanical strength decay of excavated and unloaded rock masses on reservoir banks in cold areas. To study the time-dependent mechanical properties of an excavated and unloaded rock mass on a bank slope under freeze–thaw...
