Sand and rock show practically no creep, except at very high stress levels.
EK507
There are two common modes of settlement of non-free-draining soils (fine-grained soils, fine sand, and medium sand with fines greater than 10%). One is the natural drainage of water from […]
EK506
The settlement of free-draining coarse-grained soils (e.g., medium sand with fines less than 5%, clean, coarse sand) is generally calculated assuming that these soil behave as elastic materials.
EK503
Coarse sand with fines >10%, fine sand and medium sand are not free-draining. Settlement in these soils can occur well beyond the construction period.
EK462
Retaining walls backfilled with cohesionless soils (sand and gravel) tend to rotate slightly around the base. Behind such a wall, a wedge of soil tends to shear along inclined plane. […]

Distribution of pressure on cohesionless soil (sand) under a rigid footing.
