Study of the degradation and microstructural characteristics of granite porphyry with freeze–thaw cycles

Abstract In this research, the microstructural damage and the degradation law are investigated for the rock mass in open-pit mine slopes with freeze–thaw cycles. Taking four different freeze–thaw cycles (0, 9, 18, and 27) of saturated granite porphyry as the research object, a scanning electron micr...
