An Experimental Study on Cracking Behavior of Precracked Sandstone Specimens under Seepage Pressure

<div>Geometry of hole and fissure in the sandstone specimens. α is the fissure angle, <i>a</i> is the fissure length, and <i>d</i> is the hole diameter. In this study, the center hole and fissure in sandstone specimens were machined by high-pressure water-jet cutting.</div>
