Experimental Study on Water–Rock Coupling of Red Sandstone
摘要
To elucidate the impact of wet-dry cycles on red sandstone in the Ordos region, experiments were conducted using a servo-hydraulic machine. Parameters such as uniaxial compressive strength, elastic modulus, strain corresponding to peak stress, and Poisson’s ratio were evaluated across various cycles. The study reveals a significant decline in uniaxial compressive strength, elastic modulus, and peak strain of red sandstone under wet-dry cycling. However, the effect on Poisson’s ratio remains minor. The findings provide valuable insights for engineering design and slope failure mechanism research.
