Popis: During the cyclic injection and extraction process in underground storage wellbores, the cement sheath undergoes loading and unloading stress cycles. In this study, we investigated the mechanical properties of latex-modified cement stone (LMCS), widely used in oil and gas wells, through uniaxial and triaxial cyclic loading and unloading tests. The aim of the study was to determine the effect of various loading conditions on the compressive strength and stress–strain behavior of LMCS. The results show that the stress–strain curve of LMCS exhibits a hysteresis loop phenomenon, with the loop intervals decreasing throughout the entire cyclic loading and unloading process. As the number of cycles increases, the cumulative plastic strain of the LMCS increases approximately linearly. Under uniaxial cyclic loading and unloading conditions, the elastic modulus tends to stabilize. However, under triaxial conditions, the elastic modulus increases continuously as the number of cycles increases. This result provides data for engineering predictions. Furthermore, a comparison of the uniaxial and triaxial cyclic loading and unloading of LMCS shows that its cumulative plastic strain develops rapidly under uniaxial conditions, while the elastic modulus is larger under triaxial conditions. These findings provide a valuable reference for constructing underground storage wellbores.
