Abstract
The results of an experimental study of the effect of multiple weak impacts on the creep of a sample of equivalent geomaterial loaded with a static pressure are presented. It is found that at long-term weak impacts, the creep rate initially increases and then decreases to a stationary value. Weak impacts initiate the elastic strain wave passing through the sample. The propagation velocity of this wave increases non-monotonically with an increase in the number of impacts. It is related to the change in sample internal structure due to external loads.
