Numerical simulation research on the micro failure mechanism of sandstone under freeze-thaw cycles

The process of micro crack formation in sandstone subjected to freeze-thaw cycles is pivotal for strip mine in cold regions. A discrete element numerical model considering the variation of frost heave force and water saturation during the freeze-thaw cycles is established by PFC3D in this paper. The...
