Understanding the creep behavior of LVL is crucial for its applications. This paper presents an experimental investigation into the creep behavior of LVL under three compression directions: compression parallel to grain, edgewise compression perpendicular to grain, and flatwise compression perpendicular to grain. Short-term compression tests were first conducted on LVL along the three directions, providing basic data to determine the stress magnitude for long-term compression tests. The long-term tests were performed for 220 days in an uncontrolled indoor environment, considering the three compression directions and different stress levels. The long-term behavior of the LVL specimens was assessed across time-dependent moisture contents, strain, and creep. Creep models were then calibrated against the experimental data, further characterizing the compressive creep behavior of LVL. The experimental results show that the moisture content and environmental strain exhibited a strong but slightly lagged correlation with relative humidity. The maximum creep coefficients at 77.9 % average humidity were 1.87–3.25 times as large as those at 61.7 % humidity. Creep effect in LVL under parallel-to-grain compression was significantly lower than that subjected to compression perpendicular to grain.

However, prevailing theoretical frameworks often neglect the consolidation process and the influence of the complete excavation sequence, resulting in an inability to predict time-evolving deformation. This study establishes a consolidation model tailored for foundation pit excavation, deriving a theoretical solution for excess pore water pressure. Vertical soil deformation induced by excavation is determined using the effective stress principle coupled with generalized Hooke's law. A consolidation model for internally loaded foundations is then formulated to obtain a flexibility matrix incorporating consolidation effects. By simplifying the tunnel as an Euler-Bernoulli beam and applying soil-tunnel displacement coupling conditions, a time-dependent solution for vertical deformation is derived and validated against physical model tests. Meanwhile, the results of data comparison further indicate that the time-dependent characteristics of the tunnel's vertical deformation are closely related to the dissipation of excess pore water pressure (i.e., the soil's consolidation characteristics). Parametric analysis shows that: Lowering the soil permeability coefficient reduces the tunnel’s deformation rate but also extends the time required for the deformation to stabilize, resulting in a smaller vertical displacement at the completion of excavation. An increase in the resilient modulus not only enhances the soil's ability to resist deformation but also weakens the soil's consolidation effect, thereby inhibiting the development of vertical displacement of the tunnel. The tunnel stiffness only affects the deformation magnitude, but not the time required to reach stability. Introducing an intermittent excavation schedule tends to increase the deformation of the tunnel by the end of excavation while attenuating the subsequent time-dependent deformation.

Additionally, heat treatment can induce the coalescence of particles, resulting in a matrix-dominated structure devoid of scattering features. This transformation can lead to an opaque to transparent reversal.
