Experimental Investigation of Unloading-Induced Red Sandstone Failure: Insight into Spalling Mechanism and Strength-Weakening Effect

To study the effect of excavation unloading on hard rock failure, a series of true-triaxial compression tests, biaxial compression tests, and true-triaxial unloading compression tests (two different unloading rates) at different confining pressures was conducted on red sandstone cube samples. The st...
