Four-point bending test on a middle strength rock: numerical and experimental investigations

Developing a reliable numerical modelling technique is considered as challenge for fracture assessment of the geological materials, which are much subjected to hydrostatic pressure. For this purpose, the mechanical behaviour and the fracture pattern of a middle strength rock material, called Pietra...
