Abstract

The article presents the manufacturing procedure and the test results for a synthetic layered and jointed medium with a preset internal structure and the pronounced anisotropy of properties. The laboratory installation for hydraulic fracturing of large-size cubic models under independent triaxial loading, the laboratory installation hydraulics and the measurement-and-recording equipment are described.
