Study on the Mechanical Properties and Interaction Mechanism of Fractured Rock Subjected to Freeze–Thaw Cycles by Ran Bi, Weijian Gan

“…Grouting material enhances the bonding strength and supporting capacity of the rock sample, roughness improves the anchoring effect of the grout, fracture dip angle improves stress transmission efficiency, and confining pressure increases rock sample density and restricts deformation, all of which exhibit strengthening effects. (2) Interaction analysis revealed three types of interaction mechanisms for the peak stress and elastic modulus of the rock samples: interaction enhancement mechanism, where peak stress or elastic modulus significantly increases when the related factors are at high levels, demonstrating a synergistic strengthening effect; interaction inhibition mechanism, where factors at high levels suppress each other’s strengthening or weakening effects; and interaction reversal mechanism, where the influence trend of certain factors reverses under different conditions. …”
