Abstract

To study the deterioration mechanisms of anhydrite rock under the freeze-thaw weathering process, the physico-mechanical characteristics and microstructure evolutions of anhydrite samples were determined by a series of laboratory tests. Then, a descriptive-behavioral model was used to measure the integrity loss in anhydrite samples caused by cyclic freeze-thaw. Finally, the freeze-thaw damage mechanisms of anhydrite rock were revealed from the macro and micro aspects.

The results show that the pore size of the anhydrite rock is mainly concentrated in the range of 0.001–10 μm. As the number of freeze-thaw cycles increases, there is a growth in the proportion of macropores and mesopores. However, the proportion of micropores shows a declining trend. The relations of the uniaxial compressive strength, triaxial compressive strength, cohesion, and elastic modulus versus freeze-thaw cycles can be fitted by a decreasing exponential function, while the internal friction angle is basically unchanged with freeze- thaw cycles. With the increase of confining pressure, the disintegration rates of the compressive strength and the elastic modulus decrease, and the corresponding half-life values increase, which reveals that the increase of confining pressures could inhibit freeze-thaw damage to rocks.

Moreover, it has been proven that the water chemical softening mechanism plays an essential role in the freeze-thaw damage to anhydrite rock. Furtherly, it is concluded that the freeze-thaw weathering process significantly influences the macroscopic and microscopic damages of anhydrite rock.
