Cryofracturing effectiveness using liquid nitrogen on granite: Fracture toughness and Brazilian tests following freezing-thawing cycle
The influence of repeated liquid nitrogen (LN2) exposure treatments on the geomechanical integrity of granite samples from Kazakhstan was investigated using measures of fracture toughness and indirect tensile stress (Brazilian tests) with initial temperatures ranging from 100 °C to 500 °C. These tes...
