Frost weathering of sandstones: mechanisms and laboratory experiments
 Dvořák, Matěj ; Bruthans, Jiří (advisor) ; Schweigstillová, Jana (referee)
Frost weathering of sandstones: mechanisms and laboratory experiments This thesis studies and compares different mechanisms of frost weathering, and further describes the characteristics of the rock material and the external environment, which affect this process. The effects of frost action were related to sandstones. The thesis consists of a literature review and practical experiments. The literature review indicates, that frost weathering of sandstones is due to their characteristics (higher porosity, grain structure) rather influenced by mechanisms based on water migration through the pore space of freezing rock. Beside the properties of the sandstone material, also the water content, the final temperature of freezing and the rate of the temperature fall are important. The experiments were performed on samples of Cretaceous sandstones (thick-bedded and argillaceous sandstones of Bohemian Paradise) and Carboniferous arkoses of Syřenov formation. Samples were subjected to repeated cycles of freezing at - 20 řC and thawing in distilled water. The weathering progress was monitored by measuring the weight loss and damage description. Selected samples were further compared to samples weathered under the influence of tensile stress (3 kPa). Based on the experiments, the frost resistance (from the most...
