Abstract
• Fracture toughness of a sandstone was measured using semi-circular bend (SCB) specimen. • Mode I, mode II and mixed mode (I–II) fracture toughness was investigated. • Fracture toughness was found to be dependent on the temperature and the confining pressure. • Test results showed only limited agreement with maximum tangential stress fracture criterion...
