Abstract:The indirect tension test is an important laboratory test for rock characterization. The presence of rock fabric, such as schistosity, complicates the assessment of test results. One hundred and forty-five indirect tension tests were conducted on mica schist specimens to investigate the effect of schistosity orientation on failure mode and tensile strength. Tensile strength results did not provide a clear relationship between schistosity orientation and tensile strength, so the failure patterns were investigat… Show more
