Abstract:Using selfmade creep seepage experimental apparatus, triaxial creep tests on outburst prone coal are carried out with coal samples taken from Songzao Coal Mine. It is found that the attenuation creep property is shown in the conditions of less than its longterm strength load, while nonattenuation creep property for the greater conditions. By introducing a viscoelastoplastic body which can describe the deformation property of nonNewtonian fluids, the viscoelastoplastic creep model of outburst prone coal is put forward combined with a PoytingThomson model. The model parameters were fitted out with Matlab programmer and validation is employed. It is found that the test results were in good agreement with those by the proposed model.
