Knowledge on rock mechanical behaviors under/after hightemperature conditions is extremely important for projects such as deep geological disposal of nuclear waste (Sellin and Leupin 2013; Verma et al. 2015), hot dry rock (HDR) geothermal energy extraction (Brown et al. 2012; Gelet et al. 2012), and underground coal gasification (Burton et al. 2006; Otto and Kempka 2015), for it can provide a basis for deformation, stability, and safety analyses of the projects. High temperatures can cause thermal expansion of rock-forming minerals, thermal stresses, and chemical reactions in a rock body and thus produces micro-cracks and damages rock microstructures. As a result, rock behaviors exposed to high temperatures may be quite different from those under normal temperature conditions. It has been known that rock strength and deformation modulus generally decrease with increasing temperature, especially beyond a certain temperature (eg, Dwivedi et al. 2008; Chen et al. 2012; Singh et al. 2015; Tian et al. 2016; Peng et al. 2016; Ding et al. 2016). Therefore, research on high-temperature rock mechanics is important and essential in both theory and practice. Granitic rocks such as granite and diorite are a widely acceptable site for nuclear waste disposal and are also main rock types of HDR reservoir. Up to now, a large amount of experimental research has been performed to investigate the mechanical properties of granite exposed to high temperatures up to 1000 C. Dwivedi et al.(2008) presented deformation modulus, tensile, and compressive strength of granites basically decrease with temperature according to their experiments and literature review. Based on a real-time high-temperature uniaxial compression testing system with strain rates of 0.05 and 0.5 mm/min, Singh et al.(2015) found uniaxial compression strength (UCS) and elastic modulus (E) of granite decrease with temperature from 200 C onward, while Homand-etienne and Houpert (1989), Chen et al.(2012) and Liu and Xu (2014) discovered the threshold temperature is 400 C. They found granite UCS changes slightly from room temperature to 400 C, but dramatically decreases with temperature from 400 C onward, by means of testing on granite sample after high-temperature treatment. Shao et al.(2015) and Yin et al.(2016) observed UCS and E of granites decrease with temperature up to 1000 C.Diorite reserves may be much larger than that of granite in some areas and can be a substitute for granite as the host rock of nuclear waste geological disposal. It is also one type of hot dry rocks. However, limited reference related to the mechanical behavior of diorite exposed to high temperatures is available now. To extend our knowledge on high-temperature influences on mechanical properties of diorite, a series of uniaxial compression tests were performed on diorite samples after thermal treatment up to 1000 C.
