Experimental study of the cracking behavior of specimens containing inclusions (under uniaxial compression)

This paper presents the results of an experimental investigation on the cracking behavior of brittle heterogeneous materials. Unconfined, uniaxial compression tests were conducted on prismatic gypsum specimens containing either one, or two, inclusions. These inclusions were of different strengt...
