Full textThe physical weathering of rock in cryogenic regions through a process called ice segregation is important for understanding subglacial processes, landscape evolution and cold region engineering. Ice segregation was examined by freezing water-saturated cores of Eugene Formation sandstone at temperatures between -15° and -2°C. Cores between -8° and -5°C took 30-45 minutes to crack, while cores at warmer or cooler temperatures took either more than 90 minutes or did not crack at all. Numerical modeling shows that cores break under isothermal conditions. The results of this study suggest that previous models in which temperature gradients are held responsible for driving flow towards growing cracks are incomplete. I introduce a new model of ice segregation to explain how premelted liquids from smaller pores can migrate and contribute to the growth of large cracks. This dissertation includes unpublished material.

Full textThe objective of this research is to study the geomechanical behaviour of biaxially loaded rock. Three rock types were selected, namely limestone, granite and sandstone.
The laboratory work was conducted using a newly developed, 500-tonne biaxial loading frame, that is equipped with a servo-controlled load and displacement system. Recently patented in China, the new biaxial loading frame is spatially symmetric and equally rigid in both directions. Steel brush platens and solid platens with and without MoS2 were developed to help examine the end friction effect on biaxial strength. It is found that the biaxial strength can decrease up to 26.7% with the increase of cubic specimen size from 75 mm to 150 mm. The biaxial strength increases by 29.3% with the increase of loading rate from 1 MPa/s to 10 MPa/s, for granite. The biaxial strength of granite specimen decreases by nearly 6% when either solid platens with MoS 2 lubricant or brush platens are used. A comparison of the sigma 1-sigma2 failure envelopes reveals that the shape of the envelope and the location of the peak biaxial strength are dependent on the rock type.
Varying intensities of rock spalling generally initiate at the free faces of the specimen when sigma1 and sigma2 exceed sigma c/2. Ultimate failure occurs in the form of an out-of-plane shear failure, which splits the rock specimen into two or more wedges.
It is shown that both Mohr-Coulomb and Hoek-Brown criteria underestimate the biaxial strength of the rock. The Drucker-Prager failure criterion appears to provide poor correlation with experimental results. A new empirical biaxial rock failure criterion for intact rock is derived and another, accounting for rock mass characteristics through the Geological Strength Index (GSI), is then proposed.

Reservoir models use the elastic moduli of rock, both bulk and shear, to compute deformation. These moduli may change with pressure and fracture density, but this effect is usually left out of models. This work shows effective elastic moduli of fluid-filled fractured rock through a self consistent method. The calculated effective elastic moduli for a penny-shaped crack are compared to literature values. Effective moduli values for rocks containing rough fractures with asperities are presented. The bulk and shear moduli increase with external stress. Increases in pore pressure cause an increase in bulk modulus but a decrease in shear modulus. The effect of using these determined effective moduli of fractured rock in modeling is investigated through a model of surface deformation over the In Salah gas reservoir in Algeria where carbon sequestration was performed. The In Salah CO₂ storage project is commonly studied due to the unexpected surface deformation observed. Surface deformation of less than a millimeter occurs from changing the material properties in this reservoir to that of saturated fractured rock containing 25 square rough fractures per cubic meter of 0.2 m side length and 0.22 m aperture, as determined in this study.
