Abstract

The stress–strain characteristics of compressed sandstone are affected by many different factors. The study on the evolution law of the strain field of compressed sandstone is of great significance for disaster prediction and warning during the construction process of geotechnical engineering. In this paper, uniaxial compression tests of red sandstone of 100 mm height and 50 mm length and width were carried out under the conditions of (1) different loading rates, (2) different particle sizes and (3) different inclination angles of prefabricated fractures. Stress–strain curves corresponding to different conditions were presented, the evolution of strain field on the sample surfaces was analyzed with the help of Digital Image Correlation technology and the relationship between the stress–strain curves and the strain field was preliminarily given. This study may be helpful for obtaining a deeper understanding of the deformation and failure mechanism of sandstone under uniaxial compression.
