Chemically dependent mechanical properties of natural andesite rock fractures
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Different engineering rock works are affected by chemical–mechanical coupling phenomena in rock mass. Friction, strength of fracture walls, shape of asperities, and roughness control hydraulic and mechanical behaviors of fractures, which are all affected by chemical solutions. In addition, the efficiency of some operations such as leaching depend on the fracture conductivity in a confined condition. To evaluate the effects of leaching agents on the mechanical and geometrical properties of andesite rock fractures, a set of laboratory-scale experiments were conducted on three types of andesite in a sulfate medium with different pH values. Although the cohesion and shear strength reduced by decreasing the pH value, the roughness and shear stiffness of fractures did not follow a unique trend. Scanning electron microscope images indicated that the reason is mainly due to the selective chemical dissolution of the more reactive minerals in acidic solution. It is shown that fracture conductivity is a strong function of confining stress, asperities resistance, and aperture in such a way that confining pressure decreases the conductivity appreciably and the reduction rate depends on the mineralogy of fracture surfaces.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
