Abstract: In order to study the effect of dry-wet cycles of solutions with different pH values on the deterioration of mechanical properties of sandstone, four solutions with pH values of 3, 5, 6.5 (distilled water) and 7 were used to perform dry-wet cycles on sandstone. Sandstone specimens with 0 times (dry state), 1 times, 10 times and 20 times of dry-wet cycles were subjected to longitudinal wave velocity measurement, water absorption test, XRD test and uniaxial compression test. Test results show that under the same pH value of the solution, the uniaxial compressive strength of sandstone specimens decreases gradually with the increase of dry-wet cycles. When the number of dry-wet cycles is the same, as the pH value of solution decreases, longitudinal wave velocity of sandstone specimens decreases, water absorption gradually increases, the internal mineral composition changes, and uniaxial compressive strength gradually decreases and tends to be stable. The deterioration of sandstone specimens under dry-wet cycles of acidic solution are more serious than that of neutral solution, and the lower the pH value is, the greater the deterioration is.

Key words: dry-wet cycle, pH value, deterioration, static, uniaxial compressive strength
