Direct tensile test on brittle rocks with the newly developed centering apparatus

Failure of brittle rock normally initiates from tensile fracture due to its extraordinary lower resistance to tension rather than to compression. Intensive study on the deformability and accurate acquirement of the mechanical properties of rock under tensile stress is crucial for the stability analy...
