“…Wang et al [ 41 ] established a three-dimensional damage creep model based on damage theory and elastic wave theory, combined with FLAC3D, and the simulation results were more consistent with the actual deformation characteristics of tunnels. FLAC3D had also been used to study the instability and failure laws of the inner dump during the loading process, providing guarantee for safe production in the mining area [ 42 ]. Therefore, the Burgers model is more suitable for studying the creep characteristics of the dump site, and combining on-site monitoring data, indoor tests, and numerical simulation methods to study the deformation laws of the dump site has guiding significance for the optimization of the dump site.…”
