Experiment on the strength characteristics and failure modes of granite with pre-existing cracks by GUO Qi-feng, WU Xu, CAI Mei-feng, XI Xun, REN Fen-hua, MIAO Sheng-jun

“…Then, the rock samples with cracks and intact samples were compressively tested using a rigid testing machine (GAW2000) to determine their strength characteristics, crack initiation rules, and failure modes. The experimental results show that the uniaxial compressive strength (UCS) values of granite samples with pre-existing cracks are lower than those of intact samples, and the extent of the UCS reduction is closely related to β, i.e., the angle between the pre-existing crack and the direction of the external load. …”
