Abstract
The present paper investigates the effects of CO2-saturation and confining pressures on the fracture toughness of bituminous coals. Three-point bending experiments were performed with semi-circular coal specimens (SCB) after they were immersed in different CO2 pressures. The experimental results show that the pure modes I and II fracture toughnesses of coal samples gradually decrease with the growth of CO2-saturation pressure. Additionally, the...
