Select all true statements. In triaxial loading: U The confining pressure (o3) is progressively increased to break the sample subjected to uniform principal stresses (ol = o2). When initially loaded, the rock specimen compresses and then begins to dilate as a result of internal fracturing. When the water pressure increases, there is a transition from ductile to brittle behavior. When the confining pressure decreases, the behavior changes from strain- softening to strain-hardening.

An intact solid cylindrical specimen of diameter 50 mm and thickness 30 mm is prepared from a Hoek-Brown rock material with m,= 10. If the disc fails under a diametral compressive force of 7.8 kN as shown opposite, determine the brittleness index of the tested material based on stresses induced at the centre of the loaded specimen; i.e., the ratio of the material's compressive to tensile strength. Assume that the Hoek-Brown failure criterion is valid for the plane stress field condition developed at the centre of the specimen. 7.8 kN P B
