Experimental Study of Dynamic Mechanics Characteristics of Saturated Marble under Low Temperature by Yang Yang, Jianguo Wang

“…The peak strain increases first, then decreases, and then increases, and the inflection point temperature of the change is −5°C and −20°C, respectively, which is completely different from the static load test results of frozen rock at low temperature. According to fracture morphology analysis, water-ice phase transformation at −5°C leads to the nucleation and expansion of a large number of microcracks and micropores in marble, and the interaction between slip separation cracks and microstructures caused by shear deformation under impact separates the massive crystals inside the rock into microscopic crystals, thus reducing the bearing capacity and strength of marble. …”
