Features and Constitutive Model of Gypsum’s Uniaxial Creep Damage considering Acidization by Wei Chen, Wen Wan, Senlin Xie, Wenlong Kuang, Wenqing Peng, Qiuhong Wu, Shasha Tong, Xianqing Wang, Xiaoyu Tang

“…The difference is that the failure time of the former is earlier than that of the latter, which indicates that the stronger acidity causes greater corrosion on the creep of the samples. (2) From the perspective of microstructure, the samples saturated in the neutral aqueous solution and dry state are compact and complete in structure, and the whole is relatively homogeneous. However, after saturating in the acid solution, the samples significantly increased dense pores with large size and loose structure. …”
