Rock fracture mechanics has received substantial attention in both scientific (eg, geology, geophysics and material science) and engineering (eg, mining, civil and mechanical engineering) fields since understanding rock fracture mechanics can contribute greatly to the advanced design and safety of geostructures and infrastructures. Rock fracture behavior is affected by high temperatures, even below the rock melting point, because high temperatures can induce microscale cracks due to the differential thermal expansion of minerals in the crystal lattice (Kranz 1983). Thermalinduced microcracks in rocks are irreversible even after the rocks are cooled down to room temperature (Dwivedi et al. 2008; Tian et al. 2012). Thermally induced crack density depends on the maximum temperature, rate the temperature increases, thermal expansion mismatch, thermal expansion anisotropy, rock porosity, and grain size. In addition, microcracks can be formed by the breakage of strained bonds and compressive, tensile or shear stresses generated by static, quasi-static, and dynamic loads. Unlike thermally induced microcracks, these latter microcracks can have a nonuniform distribution within a rock mass or can be concentrated near a local discontinuity, such as a fault (Anders et al. 2014).
