With increasing depth of mining excavation, the occurrence of mining induced rockmass instability hazards shows an upward tendency. In this project, taking the frequent rock instability disasters happened in mines, hydropower, tunnels and other deep rock engineering for research background, the key scientific issues, i.e. thermo-hydro-mechanical coupled creep instability of rock, are to be concentrated. Considering the high-temperature, high-seepage pressure and high geostress in deep rock mass and confining pressure unloading path, a series of triaxial creep experiments on rock under different temperatures, seepage pressures and differential stress will be performed to study the characteristics of creep damage evolution and creep rate with time and to get the effect of temperature, seepage pressure, stress and cross-coupling of thermo-hydro-mechanical process on creep. Based on above, we will derive multiphysical coupled thermo-hydro-mechanical creep model, estabilish numerical method of describe the coupled thermo-hydro-mechanical creep, carry out a series of numerical simulations on rock creep damage and failure under the thermo-hydro-mechanical coupling interactions, reveal the coupled thermo-hydro-mechanical creep damage and failure mechanism of deep rock mass, and gain a better understanding into the development and cross-coupling mechanism of deep rockmass creep instability failure. It is of great importance to control and prevent the catastrophic creep failure of deep rock mass and minimizes the impact of rockmass instability hazards on mining activities, meanwhile, it is also of significance to develop a better understanding of the safe and efficient rock engineering design and operation and provide a theoretical basis to predict the deformation and long-term stability of deep rock engineering.
