Abstract: Uniaxial compression tests were conducted in this study to examine the mechanical properties of marble rocks that had undergone different high temperatures and different cycle numbers of temperature variation. Rock samples were taken from Jinping in Sichuan. Temperature was varied in four ranges separately with the upper bounds at 100, 300, 450, and 600 ℃, and three cycle numbers of 1, 10 and 20 were used. The results show that, for temperature cycling at the bound of 100 ℃ cycle number had little effect on the shape of stress-strain curve while the effect became significant when the temperature upper bound reaches up to 450 ℃. And, as both temperature and cycle number were increasing, damages in the samples started to shift gradually from the typical form of brittle failure to that of brittle plastic failure. For the tests after undergoing temperature cycling at the bound of 600 ℃, increasing the number of cycles resulted in a descending trend in peak stress and elastic modulus and an ascending trend in peak strain.
