The constitutive model of rock is closely connected with the mechanical properties of rock. To achieve a more accurate quantitative analysis of the mechanical properties of rock after the action of freeze-thaw cycles, it is necessary to establish the constitutive models of rock subjected to freeze-thaw cycles from the view of rock damage. Based on the assumption of rock couple damage, this study established a statistical damage constitutive model of rock subjected to freeze-thaw cycles by combining the lognormal distribution, which is commonly used in engineering reliability analysis, and the strain strength theory. Then, the coordinates and derivative at the peak of the stress-strain curve of the rock after the action of freeze-thaw cycles were obtained through experiments to solve the statistical distribution parameters με and S of the model, whereafter, the theoretical curves by the established model were compared with the experimental curves to verify the validity of it, which shows a great agreement. Finally, the sensitivity analysis of the statistical distribution parameters was implemented. The results indicate that με reflects the strength of the rock, which shows a positive relation, and S stands for the brittleness of the rock, which shows a negative relation.
