“…In this study, as mentioned previously, a clear decrease of shore hardness with increasing number of freeze-thaw cycle could not found due to the inherent uncertainty of shore hardness. The high uncertainty in assessing rock shore hardness was also emphasized in the previous research [12,43].…”

In order to investigate the weathering characteristics of rocks in response to freeze-thaw conditions in northern latitudes, we analysed meteorological data from the Ny-Ålesund region in Norway, and observed changes in the physical and mechanical properties of rocks of dolomite and quartzite. To assess the effects of freeze-thaw weathering on these rock properties, 900 cycles of long-term freeze-thaw tests were conducted for the sampled rocks in two locations. P-wave velocity, absorption, shore hardness, and the uniaxial compressive strength of the sampled rocks were measured at every 150 cycles in order to analyse physical and mechanical mediator variables of freeze-thaw weathering. It was found that an increasing number of freeze-thaw cycle on the sampled rocks decreases uniaxial compressive strength, shore hardness, and P-wave velocity and increases absorption.

“…Investigations on this topic are still ongoing to improve rock-cutting (Ghamgosar et al 2017) or hydraulic fracturing (Zang et al 2013) technologies. Further research works are devoted to protect against environmental threats: designing tunnels against earthquakes (Hashash et al 2001), forecasting volcanic hazard (Kendrick et al 2013;Heimisson et al 2015), assessing the freeze-thaw cycles on tunnels built in hostile cold regions (Zhang et al 2004;Liu et al 2015), studying the ageing of pillars due to variations of water table level (Sorgi and De Gennaro 2011) or estimating the long-term stability of old monuments (Cattaneo and Labuz 2001;Jamshidi et al 2013) or buildings (Hale and Shakoor 2003) against weathering. Oil and gas storage, mainly in salt mines, is another application where cyclic loading is imposed to the environment by human activities by successive emptying and filling (Cosenza et al 1999;Wang et al 2015;Voznesenskii et al 2017).…”

“…After frost damage process, the deterioration rate of the studied rock specimens was assessed by the mathematical decay function approach. Although artificial weathering processes in long-term durability evaluation is widely used, numerical modeling methods are not enough to assess the results determined from the studies [20,34,35].…”

The degradation of natural rocks due to severe environmental conditions can influence their durability over an extended period of time. This research aims to investigate the long-term durability or disintegration rate of rocks used as construction materials under severe climatic conditions using frost damage action, and the deterioration rate was assessed using mathematical decay function approach. The mathematical model assumes an initial order operation and gives purposeful properties for the deterioration rate of rocks due to frost action. For this reason, six different limestone types used as building materials were quarried from limestone mine in China and subjected to a series of laboratory tests to determine the mineralogical, petrographical, physical, and mechanical characteristics. Then, 50 cycles of frost damage process was performed, and after each 10 cycles, the unconfined compressive strength, point load strength, and Schmidt rebound were determined. The disintegration rate or integrity loss characteristics of each rock type were assessed using the mathematical decay function approach parameters. This approach proved that the disintegration rate varies for the rocks of the same type especially which were extracted from the same areas, the rock durability under frost damage conditions can be estimated with good accuracy, the parameters of this model saved a lot of time and provided important practical features to assess a rapid durability, and hence, there is no need to carry out the frost damage test which is slow and consumes time.
