Creep characteristics of sandstone during freezing/thawing process by Yongjun SONG, Jinghui CAO, Keyan CHENG, Huimin YANG, Ran BI, Kun ZHANG

“…Then the effect of the freezing/thawing process on the long-term mechanical properties of the rock mass was investigated, and the macroscopic mechanical indexes, such as creep strain, steady-state creep rate, and long-term strength, were analyzed quantitatively. The results indicate that sandstone undergoes the stages of cold shrinkage, frost heave, and steady-state creep during the freezing process, and the stages of thaw consolidation and steady-state creep during the thawing process. …”
