Deformation and failure characteristics of weathered granite under uniaxial compression

In this paper, we have examined the crack formation of weathered granite by monitoring acoustic emissions (AE) under uniaxial compression. Except for the uniaxial compressive strength (UCS), the thresholds have been determined for crack closure, crack initiation and crack damage, respectively. Moreo...
