Abstract
Freeze–thaw effect is one of the most important environmental conditions that rocks may be subjected to. Through laboratory model tests, the damage characteristics of rocks under the FTC were studied. Based on assuming that the strength of rocks subject to the FTC follows the Weibull distribution, the cumulative damage variable of the number of FTCs was introduced. A cumulative damage constitutive model of shear strength attenuation of rock that meets the Mohr–Coulomb criterion is established. The rationality and applicability of the proposed damage constitutive model are verified by comparing the results of rock shear strength parameters under cyclic freeze–thaw loads.
