Experimental study on the influence of temperature on the mechanical properties of granite under uni-axial compression and fatigue loading

► As the heating temperature increases, the peak stress and elastic modulus of heated granite decreases, while the peak strain increases. ► For a heating temperature below 400°C, the effect of temperature on peak stress, elastic modulus, and peak strain of granite is relatively small. ► When the heating temperature is below 400 °C, the fatigue life can be considered to depend only on the values of σ m ( T )/ σ f ( T ) and σ a ( T )/ σ f ( T )....
