Effects of loading modes and temperature on fracture properties of limestone

Abstract Studying the fracture properties of rocks under high temperatures is crucial for understanding the laws of crack propagation and fracture mechanisms in deep underground engineering. In this study, based on digital image correlation technique, fracture tests were conducted on heat-treated li...
