Characterizing the mechanical behaviour of the Tournemire argillite
Abstract
Abstract A laboratory programme of uniaxial, triaxial, cyclic and Brazilian tests was conducted to investigate the anisotropic mechanical behaviour of the Tournemire argillite, with different axial loading orientations with respect to the bedding planes (i.e. loading orientation angle, θ=0°, 30°, 45°, 60° and 90°). The experimental results show that both strength and deformation of the argillite are direction-dependent. Failure occurs in a …
