Study on Damage and Repair Mechanical Characteristics of Rock Salt Under Uniaxial Compression

Damage and self-healing characteristics of rock salt are key factors for the evaluation of underground salt cavern safety. During the construction of a salt cavern, characteristics of the surrounding rock (formation temperature, pressure and brine saturation) can affect the self-healing of rock salt. To study the recovery effect, we carried out a study through uniaxial compression tests. The rock salt samples were divided into group S and group...
