Abstract:

The meso-structure of sandstone has a significant effect on its mechanical properties under external loads. In this paper, by taking two types of sandstone with different grain sizes as the study objects, the effects of grain size and freeze-thaw cycles on tensile strength and damage mode of sandstone are analyzed using a combination of laboratory tests, theoretical analysis, and numerical calculation. The Brazilian splitting tests are carried out on sandstone samples subjected to freeze-thaw cycles. The results show that: (1) The Brazilian splitting mode of the fine-grained sandstone is dominated by the central fracture, whereas that of the coarse-grained sandstone is controlled by a noncentral fracture. (2) The freeze-thaw cycles aggravate the initial damage of sandstone, and the cumulative freeze-thaw damage has a greater impact on the Brazilian splitting damage mode of the coarse-grained sandstone than on the fine-grained sandstone. (3) The numerical analysis software RFPA2D system can simulate the Brazilian splitting failure process of the two types of sandstone with varying grain sizes under different freeze-thaw cycles. It is shown to be an effective method to reveal the tensile failure process and deterioration mechanism of sandstone under freeze-thaw cycling. (4) The formation mechanisms of the two splitting modes are analyzed according to the energy principle. The energy release of coarse-grained sandstone forms a noncentral splitting mode along the rock sample internal weak structural plane, whereas the fine-grained sandstone sample's energy accumulates in the rock sample center and releases it instantaneously at its center, showing the failure mode of central splitting. In addition, based on damage mechanics theory, the damage evolution equation of sandstone subjected to freeze-thaw cycles under tension is established, and the influence of energy release and dissipation on the sandstone's tensile properties is quantitatively analyzed.
