True triaxial testing of sandstones and shales

In this study deformational and failure properties of sandstones and shales have been evaluated through laboratory experiments under true triaxial stress conditions. The impacts of intermediate stress and water saturation were investigated. The results indicated that rock strength, elastic moduli, d...
