Brazilian Tensile Strength of Anisotropic Rocks: Review and New Insights

Strength anisotropy is one of the most distinct features of anisotropic rocks, and it also normally reveals strong anisotropy in Brazilian test Strength (“BtS”). Theoretical research on the “BtS” of anisotropic rocks is seldom performed, and in particular some significant factors, such as the anisot...
