Creep Behavior and Quantitative Prediction of Marine Soft Clay Based on a Nonlinear Elasto-Plastic–Viscous Element Assembly Model by Yajun Liu, Ning Fang, Yang Zheng, Ke Wu, Rong Chen, Haijun Lu, Vu Quoc Vuong

“…Marine soft clay is characterized by a high water content and low strength, exhibiting pronounced creep deformation under long-term loading that threatens the serviceability and durability of coastal infrastructure. Accordingly, this study develops a creep constitutive model that combines elastic, plastic, and viscous effects and quantitatively evaluates time-dependent deformation under varying water contents and stress levels to provide reliable prediction tools for tunnel, excavation, and pile-foundation design. …”
