Study on Creep Mechanical Properties of Non-Water Reacting Polyurethane Grouting Material

Abstract

Non-water reacting polyurethane is a new type of grouting material for support reinforcement and emergency rescue, whose creep mechanical behavior is directly related to the stability and safety of the reinforcement project. To investigate the creep properties of non-water reacting polyurethane grouting material, a series of multistage loading creep tests were performed under uniaxial compression conditions. Then, the creep curves, creep strain rate, and creep failure modes of non-water reacting polyurethane grouting material were obtained. In addition, the effects of temperature and density on the creep properties of non-water reacting polyurethane grouting material were also analyzed. Finally, based on the finite difference program, the numerical simulation of the uniaxial compression creep test of non-water reacting polyurethane grouting material was conducted by employing the Burgers–Mohr creep model. The simulated creep curve was in good agreement with the test curve, which verified the feasibility of the model to describe the creep characteristics of non-water reacting polyurethane grouting material. The research results can provide a reference for studying the creep behavior of polyurethane grouting material and also contribute to the development and application of polyurethane material grouting technology.
