The research objective of this study is to explore the effects of freeze-thaw cycles on the dynamic mechanical properties and microstructural characteristics of sandstone.
Comprehensive experimental investigations were conducted on sandstone samples subjected to different numbers of freeze-thaw cycles, specifically 0, 30, 60, 90, and 120 cycles. The experimental methodology comprised three principal components: dynamic impact compression tests performed at precisely controlled velocities of 3, 6, and 9 m/s, nuclear magnetic resonance testing, and scanning electron microscopy.
The experimental results demonstrate that freeze-thaw sandstone exhibits predominantly crushing failure under dynamic impact loading. The investigation revealed several significant trends: as both the number of freeze-thaw cycles and the impact velocity increase, the sandstone experiences substantially enhanced fragmentation, as evidenced by smaller fragment sizes, an increased number of fragments, a higher proportion of fine powder, and corresponding increases in fractal dimension values. When subjected to identical impact velocities, the dynamic mechanical properties of sandstone continuously deteriorate with increasing freeze-thaw cycles, while all dynamic mechanical performance indicators consistently exhibit pronounced rate-dependent effects. In addition, a dynamic peak stress attenuation model for freeze-thaw sandstone was established, demonstrating that impact velocity can partially offset the damage induced by freeze-thaw cycles, thereby reducing the attenuation constant and prolonging the half-life of freeze-thaw sandstone. Furthermore, a fractal dimension–dynamic strength evolution equation was developed, enabling the fractal dimension to serve not only as a quantitative descriptor of post-impact fragmentation but also as a predictive tool for estimating dynamic strength. With an increasing number of freeze-thaw cycles, the size and number of pores and cracks in sandstone increase, aggravating structural damage. Building upon these comprehensive results, the study further investigated the fundamental damage mechanisms of sandstone under freeze-thaw action, concluding that freeze-thaw damage in sandstone is a complex phenomenon arising from the synergistic interaction of multiple factors.
This research provides valuable references and practical insights for rock engineering applications in cold-region environments.
