Cracking and Failure in Rock Specimen Containing Combined Flaw and Hole under Uniaxial Compression

Flaw is a key factor influencing failure behavior of a fractured specimen. In the present study, rectangular-flawed specimens were prepared using sandstone to investigate the effect of flaw on failure behavior of rock. Open flaw and cylindrical hole were simultaneously precut within rock specimens u...
