Fracture Mode and Thermal Damage Evolution of Sandstone Under the Coupling Effect of Thermal Treatment and Impact Load

Abstract

The dynamic properties of high-temperature sandstone quickly deteriorate with different cooling methods, which leads to the instability of underground engineering rock structures. Therefore, it is of great significance to quantify the changes in the dynamic characteristics of high-temperature cooled sandstone under impact loads. Therefore, the sandstone is heated to different temperatures and cooled using three methods. A dynamic tensile test is performed using the Splitting Hopkinson Pressure Bar (SHPB) test set for high-temperature cooled sandstone. At the same time, the transient process of rock failure was examined using high-speed cameras. The influence of different temperatures and cooling methods on the thermal damage value of sandstone was analyzed, and the prediction equation was formed. The change in rock energy during rock failure under impact load was calculated.
