WATER SATURATION INDUCED CHANGES IN THE INDIRECT (BRAZILIAN) TENSILE STRENGTH AND THE FAILURE MODE OF SOME IGNEOUS ROCK MATERIALS
The present study concentrates on water induced strength reduction and variation of the failure mode in indirect (Brazilian) tension tests of several igneous rock materials under three moisture cases of oven-dry, air-dry and fully saturated states. In this respect, two andesite and three tuff materi...
