Abstract: In order to study the influence of the long-term strength of the rock surrounding deep roadways under the action of groundwater on surrounding rock stability, taking the rock surrounding the deep roadway of the Wanfu Coal Mine as the main research object, uniaxial compression and uniaxial creep tests were carried out on sandstone samples under different water-content states. It was found that the water content had an obvious softening effect on short-term and long-term strength, and both strengths showed a negative exponentially declining relationship. The viscosity modulus ( E ¯ v ) was put forward to describe viscoelastic creep deformation. And damage variables corresponding to E (the instantaneous elastic modulus) and E ¯ v were proposed. A sticky element that can describe the accelerated creep behavior was also established to improve the Nishihara model, based on the experimental results and damage theory. A comparison of the identified parameters and the experimental curves showed that the model can describe the mechanical behavior of various creep stages well. The model was developed using the ABAQUS user subroutine function, and the uniaxial compression creep experiment was simulated. The simulation results were basically consistent with the experimental results, which provide a basis for the further long-term stable use of roadway and creep failure simulation and have important practical and guiding significance.
