%X The  seepage induced by moving water and sand in composite slope in surface mine threatens the slope safety and surrounding environment. In order to reveal the interaction mechanism among sand particles under the action of seepage,with  characteristic structure unit of sand clusters as object, we  analyzed the process of nonlinear movement and deformation and mechanical behavior of the strong chain among sand particles under  actions of gravity, buoyancy, normal and shear contact force and seepage force in particle size scale. Furthermore, we proposed a new plastic-to-hinge element to  improve the Будин   model and established a mechanical model of sand creep with elastic-visco-plastic hinge. According to  model test of moving water and sand and data from sand creep test, we gave constitutive equation and creep curve equation of the model and identified the parameters of the improved Будин  model and verified its accuracy. Results show that  the model  could  describe the contact, friction and rotation among sand particles during creep process with good accuracy; secondly, the model  reveals the graded ladder-like failure phenomenon in the water-sand layer and shear attenuation and non-attenuation among sand particles, as well as the positive and negative accelerating shear creep process in the third stage.The present model offers  a new mechanical approach for  analyzing  the interaction mechanism among discrete particles.
