Photos of the failure process of two groups of coal samples with different ratios by a high-speed camera. (a) Sample D-0.3-3 before loading. (b) Axial split crack propagation. (c) Secondary crack propagation. (d) Crack cross-linking. (e) Sample failure. (f) Sample D-1-3 before loading. (g) Cracks development due to compression and expansion. (h) Main crack propagation. (i) Crack cross-linking results in specimen rupture.
