The Effects of Precrack Angle on the Strength and Failure Characteristics of Sandstone under Uniaxial Compression by Shuai Zhang, Jinhai Xu, Liang Chen, Hideki Shimada, Mingwei Zhang, Haiyang He

“…For the latter case, the strength experiences a trend of increasing-maintaining trend as the crack angle α gets closer to the forcing direction, and the elastic moduli are barely affected. For the specimens containing a single precrack, their crack numbers increased approximately in a one-step or two-step stair pattern with increasing axial strain; whereas for the specimens containing three cracks, their crack numbers all showed a multistep growth trend. …”
