| Popis: | Abstract In a variety of fields such as exploitation of geothermal energy and the reconstruction of nuclear waste storage, both of high-temperature and cooling process change the physical and mechanical properties of granite. Uniaxial compression tests were performed on five groups of granite samples at 25 °C, 200 °C, 400 °C, 600 °C and 800 °C after water cooling, and CT scanning, acoustic emission(AE) monitoring and X-ray diffraction(XRD) scanning were used to investigate the structure properties and failure characteristics of granite. It is found that the proportions of pore volume greater than 106 μm3 and less than 105 μm3 with are positively and negatively correlated with the thermal treatment temperature respectively. The mechanical properties of granite are significantly deteriorated by temperature gradient shock, and crack development scale during failure process overall increases as implied by AE response. The failure intensity index η is proposed to characterize the failure severity of granite, and the value of η descends with the increase of thermal treatment temperature, indicating the failure severity of granite is alleviated. Three types of loading failure mode are classified for water-cooled high-temperature granite. The failure mode of granite at 200 °C and 600 °C is tensile failure and tensile-shear failure respectively, while the granite samples are dominated by shear failure at 25 °C, 400 °C and 800 °C. |
