Item type:Article, Access status: Open Access , O różnicach w zachowaniu się skał w warunkach jednoosiowego rozciągania i ściskania(2007) Tomiczek, KrzysztofCylindrical specimens of Brenna and Jastrzębie sandstones and Strzelin granite were tested under the monotonic compression and the monotonic and the cyclic uniaxial tension. The curves of the axial stress versus the axial, lateral and volumetric strains show the differences of the behavior of rocks under uniaxial tension and compression conditions. The strain-stress characteristics of rocks under uniaxial tension exhibited non-linearity. The average volumetric strain increased with the increase in the axial strain and in the tensile loads. The results indicated that the Poisson's ratio as well the tangent and the secant moduli decreased with the increase in the tensile loads. When the rocks were subjected to load cycles in the uniaxial tension some residual axial, lateral and volumetric strains remained after unloading. According to the experimental results, the conclusion of a diametrically different behavior of rocks under the tension conditions vs. compression was given.
