Study on the Degradation Law of Physical and Mechanical Properties of Granite under the Action of Freeze-thaw Cycle

Abstract

This study demonstrates the effect on the mechanical properties of granite through the freeze-thaw cycle test method, and investigates the mechanical property parameters and its changing law of the rock samples under different numbers of freeze-thaw cycles. The results show that with the increase of the number of freeze-thaw cycles, the physical property parameters such as mass and longitudinal wave speed of the samples show a tendency of attenuation. Mechanical property parameters such as peak strength and elastic modulus of the specimen also showed a trend of decay.
