Experimental Study on the Mechanical Properties of Sandstone under the Action of Chemical Erosion and Freeze-Thaw Cycles by Lizhuang Cui, Nan Qin, Shuai Wang, Xuezhi Feng

“…For the cohesion degradation, 35.4%, 29.3%, and 27.2% degradation are observed under acidic, alkaline, and neutral solutions. Nuclear magnetic resonance imaging shows that the chemical erosion and freeze-thaw cycles both promote the degradation of rock properties from surface to interior; after 45 freeze-thaw cycles, the mechanical properties drop sharply. …”
