Abstract

The development of a new true triaxial cell which contains a device to observe the specimen under loading for full field measurement, has allowed studying the emergence of strain localisation in rock specimens. Two porous rocks have been investigated, a sandstone and a clayey rock. Both show similarities in the strain localization process, with an early diffuse strain localization pattern well before the stress peak that evolves progressively toward a reduced number of shear bands pattern. This final pattern, being usually reported in the literature, is associated to the stress peak and initiation of strain softening.
