description Abstract Numerous coal pillars are left after the coal mining process. The composite structure comprising a roof and coal pillar has prominent creep characteristics, which threaten safe underground mining. Therefore, the creep characteristics of coal-rock combinations should be studied to ensure the safety of quarry and surface. Uniaxial creep tests under static load axial pressure and different height ratios were performed using a self-designed rock creep disturbance test device to determine the effect of height ratio and axial pressure on the creep characteristics of coal–rock combinations. From the test results, a creep damage model for coal–rock combinations was established by combining the elastomer, fractional Kelvin body, plastic body, Abel dashpot, and modified nonlinear viscoplastic body; introducing damage variables D related to stress, height ratio, and time; and deriving a one-dimensional creep equation. An improved nonlinear least squares method based on pattern search was utilized to invert the creep parameters. The results of the creep equation calculation were fitted with the experimental results with good results. The creep curve with a height ratio of 2:1 was predicted with good results. The research results provide theoretical references for long-term stability analysis of rock engineering.
