Select all true statements. In triaxial loading: U The confining pressure (o3) is progressively increased to break the sample subjected to uniform principal stresses (ol = o2). When initially loaded, the rock specimen compresses and then begins to dilate as a result of internal fracturing. When the water pressure increases, there is a transition from ductile to brittle behavior. When the confining pressure decreases, the behavior changes from strain- softening to strain-hardening.
