Abstract

The uniaxial compression testing of brittle rock specimens show that the specimens fail in the form of a columnar fracture along the axis of loading. The test data are compared with the characteristic quantities of tensile strength. Failure of the specimens is modeled with regard to features of grains, which allows assessment of tensile/compressive strength ratio.
