Abstract: Studies show that the reticulate red clays have the creep characteristics. The SinghMitchell Model has the advantage of the triaxial creep behavior of this type of soil due to its suitability in a wide variety of soil properties with the minimum soil parameters. However, the description of the uniaxial creep behavior using this model has not been reported. The paper presents the one stage as well as multistage uniaxial creep test results on undisturbed soil samples from Yuelu Mountain, Changsha City. The Singh-Mitchell Model was used to simulate the test results and it suggested that this model has a better fit that other models.
