In extensive cold region engineering, freeze-thaw failure of rock masses is a natural disaster that can’t be ignored. In order to explore the influence of freeze-thaw environment on the engineering stability of rock masses in cold regions, uniaxial compression tests were conducted on red sandstone in cold regions under different freeze-thaw cycles (0, 10, 20, 30 times) and saturation levels (0, 20%, 40%, 60%, 80%, 100%), and SEM microstructure analysis was performed on the rock specimens. The results show that with the increase of freeze-thaw cycles and saturation, the crack closure stress σcc, initiation stress σci, damage stress σcd, peak stress σc, and frost resistance coefficient Kfm of red sandstone gradually decrease, and internal damage gradually intensifies. The failure mode of red sandstone specimens gradually changes from oblique shear failure and tensile failure to X-shaped failure, accompanied by a small amount of fragment peeled off. Recurrent freeze-thaw cycles leads to the expansion of original microcrack and the emergence of new cracks inside the rock, revealing the damage evolution characteristics of sandstone under different freeze-thaw cycles. The research results can provide a certain reference for the study of rock engineering stability and rock mechanics properties in cold regions.
