Investigating Mechanical Characteristics of Rocks Under Freeze–Thaw Cycles Using Grain-Based Model
AbstractBased on the discrete element method (DEM), a water-contained grain-based model (GBM) is developed in this study to evaluate the effects of freeze–thaw cycles (FTCs) on the mechanical characteristics of the rock. A set of freeze–thaw and uniaxial compression tests is carried out to explore the impact of micro damage caused by FTCs on the mechanical prosperities of rock samples. By monitoring the development and distribution of micro-cracks during freeze–thaw test and uniaxial compression test, the damage mechanism of FTCs is revealed from a microscopic perspective, which shows that FTCs deteriorate the strength and brittleness parameters as exponential functions. The parametric analysis is carried out to explore the influence of porosity and mineral components on the mechanical behaviors of rock against freeze–thaw and uniaxial loadings. Based on the parametric analysis results, it is found that UCS, Young’s modulus, and total strain energy at peak stress decrease with the increase of porosity and clay content, which emphasizes the contributions of porosity and mineral components on the mechanical properties of rock samples. It is proved that the water-contained grain-based model developed in this study can capture the damage caused by FTCs on the mechanical performance of rock from a microscopic perspective, which provides novel perspectives on the phenomenon of rock degradation in response to fluctuations in temperature.
