Influence of water content and anisotropy on the strength and deformability of low porosity meta-sedimentary rocks under triaxial compression

A reduction of uniaxial compressive strength (UCS) by the presence of water has been ascertained in many sedimentary rocks and even some metamorphic rocks experimentally. This paper reports and discusses the influence of water content and anisotropy on the strength and deformability of two meta-sedi...
