Fracture evolution of micritic bioclastic limestone under Brazilian splitting: a comparison between natural and water-saturated states

The tensile strength properties and the initiation and propagation of tensile cracks within micritic bioclastic limestone–which forms the surrounding rock mass at the tunnel exit of the Altash Water Conservancy Project–pose a threat to engineering stability. To investigate the differences in tensile strength and stress...
