Study on physical and mechanical properties and freeze-thaw damage models of granite under freeze-thaw cycles by Song Xue, Yongqiong Hu, Yongqiong Hu, Chaojun Jia, Chaojun Jia, Liang Wang, Liang Wang

“…IntroductionTo describe the evolution of freeze-thaw damage in rocks and quantitatively analyze the degree of damage, a freeze-thaw damage model based on continuum damage mechanics and thermodynamics is proposed.MethodsTaking granite as the research object, its physical and mechanical properties, acoustic emission characteristics, and failure modes were studied through freeze-thaw cycling, uniaxial compression, acoustic emission detection, and CT scanning experiments, and the validity of the model was verified.ResultsThe results show that with the increase in the number of freeze-thaw cycles, the porosity of the specimens significantly increases, while the uniaxial compressive strength, elastic modulus, and wave velocity of granite decrease exponentially. …”
