Research on damage and degradation of coal-bearing sandstone under freeze-thaw cycles by Yiwen Mao, Ming Li, Peng Wu, Shuai Guo, Fuqiang Zhu

“…With the assistance of CT scanning imaging technology, the microscopic damage and deterioration mechanism of sandstone samples under freeze-thaw cycles was further revealed, and a characterization method for the damage and deterioration of sandstone samples under freeze-thaw cycles was established, and damage and degradation effects of freeze-thaw cycles on the sandstone samples were predicted. The research results suggest that as the freezing temperature decreases and the number of freeze-thaw cycles increases, the P-wave velocity of the sandstone sample decreases, while the volume of the sandstone sample increases. …”
