Experimental study on anisotropic unloading mechanical behavior of bedded sandstone

Abstract Sandstone is a kind of bedded rock mass commonly used in engineering. The deformation and strength of bedded sandstone impose some problems during excavation. In this study, triaxial unloading tests were conducted on rock specimens (considering seven different bedding angles (β)). The resul...
