Shear Behavior and Anisotropy Characteristics of the Fracture Morphology of Sandstone with Different Water Contents

Hydromechanical coupling in rock masses is an important issue for many rock mechanics and hydrogeology applications. The change of a water-bearing state will induce the fracture of the intact rocks and further accelerate the shear slip instability of the sheared surface. To investigate the weakening...
