Brittle Characteristic and Microstructure of Sandstone under Freezing-Thawing Weathering

As an important property of rock material, brittleness plays a vital role in rock engineering. This paper raised the concept of elastic strain energy release rate and proposed an elastic strain energy release rate based brittleness index based on the most acceptable definition of brittleness. Mechan...
