The influence of temperature on the fracture behavior of siltstone is investigated in detail by mode l fracture toughness tests under three-point bending in situ SEM observations. A total of 27 specimens subjected to thermal pre-treatment have been tested. Experimental results indicate that effects of temperature on siltstone fracture behavior are obvious, not only on failure mechanism, but also on mechanical parameters like peak failure loads, fracture toughness and modulus of elasticity. The failure mechanism changes from intergranular fracture to mixed intergranular and transgranular fractures, and filially to intergranular fracture and thermal cracking with temperature from 25 to 60 C. Fracture toughness K-tc decreases slightly from room temperature 25 to 100 degrees C, and then increases significantly from 100 to 125 degrees C, and then gradually declines from 125 to 600 degrees C. A new numerical elastic modulus estimation method is proposed, considering a series of fluctuated experimental data The variation of the elastic modulus with the temperature is similar with that of fracture toughness.
