Abstract

The creep of coral sand is a critical factor that needs to be considered in geotechnical design of engineering facilities along coastal areas. In this study, a new fractional order creep model for coral sand is developed by extending the previous work on fractional (visco)plasticity. Unlike traditional fractional creep models that use viscoelasticity, this model uses a fractional order flow rule to capture the creep behaviour of coral sand. To validate the proposed model, test results of coral sand from the available literature are simulated, where good agreement between the model predictions and test results is observed.
