Effect of Freezing-Thawing Cycles on the Elastic Waves’ Properties of Rocks

Freezing thawing cycles are known to play an important role in fracture propagation on rock mass and thus in rock slope instabilities. In laboratories, this phenomenon can be studied through the measurement of the velocities of elastic waves. Seven types of rocks differing by their mineralogy and te...
