A Theoretical and Experimental Investigation on the Fracture Mechanism of Center-Symmetric Closed Crack in Compacted Clay under Compression–Shear Loading
In this study, a modified maximum tangential stress criterion by considering T-stress and uniaxial compression tests have been utilized to theoretically and experimentally reveal the fracture initiation mechanism of a center-symmetric closed crack in compacted clay. The results show that wing cracks...
