Uniaxial compression tests and MIP analysis were conducted on red sandstone specimens to reveal the microscopic pore characteristics and strength weakening mechanism under cyclic freeze-thaw treatment. The results showed an increase in porosity and expansion of the pore structure with freeze-thaw cycles. The pore fractal dimension also increased gradually with the increase in freeze-thaw cycles.
To reveal the microscopic pore characteristics and strength weakening mechanism of rock under the influence of cyclic freeze-thaw treatment, uniaxial compression tests and MIP (mercury intrusion porosimetry) were conducted on red sandstone specimens with different numbers of freeze-thaw cycles (0, 20, 40, 60, and 80). The experimental results showed that cyclic F-T (freeze-thaw) treatment can lead to an increase in porosity and the expansion of the pore structure. Specifically, the porosity increased by nearly 30.22% from 8.467% without freeze-thaw to 11.026% after 80 freeze-thaw cycles. The distribution ratios of mesopores (2-10 mm) and micropores (less than 0.1 mm) changed from 0.7% to 19.9% without freeze-thaw to 12.6% and 11.6% after 80 freeze-thaw cycles, which showed an expansion trend from small to large pores. For the PFD (pore fractal dimension) of sand-stone, three fractal models (capillary pressure model, Menger sponge model and thermo-dynamic model) were used to calculate the pore fractal dimension of different freeze-thaw cycles, which gradually increased with the increase in freeze-thaw cycles. Specifically, the PFD increased by 3.02, 3.01 and 2.65% after 20, 40, 60, and 80 freeze-thaw cycles, respec-tively. Additionally, the PFD calculated by the capillary pressure model and Menger sponge model had piecewise characteristics, which can better characterize pore fractal charac-teristics with pore diameters less than 2 mm. In summary, based on thermodynamic theory and pore water frost heaving deformation theory, a freeze-thaw damage degradation model based on the porosity of a fractured rock mass was established, and the theoretical value obtained was in good agreement with the experimental results.(c) 2023 The Authors.
