A new true triaxial cell has been designed, fabricated, calibrated, and successfully tested. Its main feature is very high loading capability in all three orthogonal directions, enabling the testing to failure of hard crystalline rocks subjected to large least and intermediate principal stresses. All three principal stresses applied to rectangular prismatic specimens, 19 x 19 x 38 mm in size, are servo controlled. The cell was used to conduct an extensive series of tests in Westerly granite. A new true triaxial strength criterion for the ruck was obtained that takes into account the effect of the intermediate principal stress. This turns out to be so significant that it raises serious questions about the suitability of criteria such as those named after Mohr, Coulomb, Griffith, and others. Measurements of strain in all three principal directions revealed that the onset of dilatancy relative to the major principal stress at failure rises substantially as the intermediate principal stress increases. The true triaxial tests also demonstrate that for the same least horizontal stress the main fracture dip angle in Westerly granite increases as a function of the intermediate principal stress, suggesting a strengthening effect. Limited thin section and SEM study shows that microcrack propagation, crack localization, and main fracture characteristics are basically similar to those observed in common triaxial tests.
