The effect of shear stresses on pillar strength

In mining, the loading environment on pillars is highly complex with combinations of normal and shear stresses. It is also understood that with an active and working face, constant redistribution of stresses will occur to maintain stress equilibrium. A rock sample subjected to uniaxial loading cond...
