Abstract

The article reports the experimental data on brittle rock strength from the bending tests of beams and from diametrical fracture of disk specimens with an axial hole. The author uses the nonlocal fracture approach and compares the strength from the tests with the tensile strength of rocks. It is shown that the different geometry fracture tests allow determining the structural parameter of a medium.
