Biaxial Shear Crack Propagation Modes of Rock-Like Specimens with Prefabricated Fissures and Their Strength Characteristics

A biaxial shear test is performed on prefabricated, single-fissure type, cubic rock-like specimens by using the TZW-500 rock direct shear apparatus to study the shear strength characteristics, crack coalescence, and propagation modes of the specimens with different geometric parameters. Results show...
