The results show that the rate effects are clear for these test methods, and the tensile strength of sandstone will increase linearly with the logarithm of the loading rate. At the same loading rate, it is found that the tensile strengths of the sandstone specimens under plate loading and arc loading are relatively similar and are much greater than the direct tensile strength, while the tensile strength under strip loading is less than the direct strength. A comprehensive comparison suggested that the strip loading method can be adopted for the Brazilian disc test, while the obtained strength should be modified with a coefficient of 1.37 to obtain the direct tensile strength.]]> Wed 26 Oct 2022 19:40:06 AEDT ]]> Inference of the optimal probability distribution model for geotechnical parameters by using Weibull and NID distributions https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:45039 Wed 26 Oct 2022 11:20:55 AEDT ]]> Dynamic Mohr-Coulomb and Hoek-Brown strength criteria of sandstone at high strain rates https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:47877 Fri 03 Feb 2023 15:31:58 AEDT ]]>
