冻融循环作用下裂隙灰岩的力学特性及裂纹扩展特征
The mechanical properties and crack propagation characteristics of fractured limestone under freeze-thaw cycles
摘要
Abstract
The deformation and failure of rock masses in cold regions due to repeated freeze-thaw cycles present critical challenges that demand thorough investigation.This study examines the mechanical properties and crack propagation characteristics of fractured limestone subjected to varying numbers of freeze-thaw cycles and crack inclination angles.Uniaxial compression tests were conducted,and corresponding stress-strain responses and macroscopic failure patterns were obtained.The fracture surfaces were further analyzed using scanning electron microscopy.Results indicate that repeated freeze-thaw cycles induce pronounced brittle failure in fractured limestone.Peak stress and elastic modulus increase with crack inclination but decrease with the number of freeze-thaw cycles,while peak strain shows positive correlation with both variables.Macroscopic failure is primarily governed by crack-induced breakage,with spalling as a secondary mode.Fracture surfaces predominantly exhibit tensile cracks influenced by pre-existing flaws,but not by the number of freeze-thaw cycles.Microscopically,freeze-thaw action promotes the development of internal microcracks-evidenced by increased crack length,width and density-while pre-existing cracks exert minimal influence on microstructural features.Increasing crack inclination angles suppresses freeze-thaw damage,thus improving rock durability.These findings provide valuable insights for improving the stability and longevity of rock structures in cold-region mining engineering.关键词
