Characterizing Tensile Strength of Building Sandstone via Uniaxial Tensile, Compressive, and Flexural Bending Tests

Sandstone is widely used a construction and building material. However, its uniaxial tensile strength (UTS) is not adequately understood. To characterize the uniaxial tensile strength of natural sandstone, three groups of specimens were fabricated for four-point bending, uniaxial compressive, and te...
