Effects of cyclic loading on mechanical properties of Maha Sarakham salt

Cyclic and Fatigue Behaviour of Rock Materials: Review, Interpretation and Research Perspectives

“…No degradation is observed in Haimson and Kim (1971), Royer-Carfagni and Salvatore (2000), Cattaneo and Labuz (2001), Xiao et al (2009Xiao et al ( , 2010, Fuenkajorn and Phueakphum (2010), Wang et al (2013Wang et al ( , 2015 and Ma et al (2013), as reported in Fig. 2.…”

“…Results often present a three-stage behaviour (Tien et al 1990;Royer-Carfagni and Salvatore 2000;Fuenkajorn and Phueakphum 2010;Xiao et al 2010;Erarslan and Williams 2012b;Guo et al 2012) similar to classic description of brittle creep (Cruden 1974;Brantut et al 2013) and subcritical crack growth (Atkinson 1984). Stage I is referred as decelerating, indicating a stabilisation.…”

Effects of Ratcheting Strain on Cyclic Time-Dependent Parameters of Salt Rocks

“…They concluded that the effect of loading frequency on the salt strength appears to be small and compared to the impact from the magnitudes of the maximum load and the loading amplitude. Also, they showed that time dependent parameters of salt rock were decreased by increasing applied octahedral shear stress [16]. Also, considerable studies have focused on numerical modeling of salt caverns subjected to cyclic loading [17,18].…”

Probabilistic Analysis of a Rock Salt Cavern with Application to Energy Storage Systems

“…Rock salt behaviour under cyclic mechanical loading was investigated e.g. by Fuenkajorn & Phueakphum (2010), Liang et al (2012), Guo et al (2012) and Liu et al (2014) for uniaxial stress condition.…”
