Abstract

Les variations de diamétre et de longueur de cylindres de roches calcaires poreuses ont été mesurées au cours de cycles de gel‐dégel. Il est apparu ainsi l'existence de variations de dimension de ces roches, fort complexes et non isotropiques. Ces variations résultent essentiellement de la migration d'eau non gelée au sein des échantillons; ces migrations, dirigées vers les pores le plus larges ou vers les faces des échantillons exposées d'abord au front de gel, produisent des contractions là où des dilatations auraient été attendues. Les expériences soulignent toute l'importance du degré d'humidité des échantillons, de la porosité de la roche, de la vitesse de gel et de faibles variations éventuelles des dispositifs expérimentaux utilisés. Ces mesures dilatométriques donnent pour les variations de longueur des échantillons, des indications précieuses sur les tensions que subissent les roches sous l'action du gel et paraissent ětre une méthode d'étude prometteuse de la gélivation. The variations in diameter and length of calcareous rocks cylinders were measured during freeze‐thaw cycles. These measurements have shown the existence of intricate and non‐isotropic variations in the dimensions of the rocks. These result mainly from the migration of non‐frozen water within the samples; these migrations towards the largest pores or towards the faces of the sample first exposed to the freezing front are responsible for contractions in areas where expansions were expected. The experiments stress the importance of water content and porosity of the rocks, of the cooling rate and of small variations of experimental conditions. These dilatometrical measurements give, for variations in the length of the samples, some valuable information about the stresses undergone by the rock during frost action and seem to offer a promising avenue for further research.
