In view of the problem whereby the rock masses in water-level fluctuation zones of reservoir banks are susceptible to deterioration due to soaking-drying cycles, the sandstone of a typical landslide in the Three Gorges Reservoir area is selected as the test object to determine the ion concentration of an immersion solution and rock sample via periodic water-rock microscopic images, quantitative back analysis of the porosity changes caused by the dissolution of rock minerals under soaking-drying cycles, and evaluation of the sandstone porosity evolution. The results show that, 1) in the first two soaking-drying cycles, the generation rate of each ion is relatively high, and after 6 soaking-drying cycles, the ion generation rate tends to remain stable. 2) The volume reduction in calcite is the largest, followed by that in albite and potash feldspar. 3) Small porosity changes result in a considerable decrease in the compressive strength. 4) Sandstone porosity increase leads to an increase in rock pores, which is manifested as a deterioration of the macroscopic rock mechanical properties. Relevant research results could provide a reliable data basis for the study of large-scale reservoir bank slope protection and geological disaster evaluation and prediction.
