Abstract
Aiming to investigate the deterioration mechanism of carbonaceous shale in acidic environment, direct shear tests were carried out on samples soaked in oxalic acid solution, and the macro-micro structure were scanned and analyzed. The results show that the plasticity of rock was enhanced significantly under acidic conditions. Carbonaceous shale can chemically react with oxalic acid, the fundamental mechanism of acid corrosion was the loss of mineral components and the irreversible damage of macro-micro structure. The increase of acidity and soaking time both aggravate the chemical damage, the shear properties gradually deteriorated, and eventually led to the serious deterioration of rock.
期刊介绍:
Construction and Building Materials offers an international platform for sharing innovative and original research and development in the realm of construction and building materials, along with their practical applications in new projects and repair practices. The journal publishes a diverse array of pioneering research and application papers, detailing laboratory investigations and, to a limited extent, numerical analyses or reports on full-scale projects. Multi-part papers are discouraged.
Additionally, Construction and Building Materials features comprehensive case studies and insightful review articles that contribute to new insights in the field. Our focus is on papers related to construction materials, excluding those on structural engineering, geotechnics, and unbound highway layers. Covered materials and technologies encompass cement, concrete reinforcement, bricks and mortars, additives, corrosion technology, ceramics, timber, steel, polymers, glass fibers, recycled materials, bamboo, rammed earth, non-conventional building materials, bituminous materials, and applications in railway materials.
