Abstract
⺠Microcrack volumes in 87 granite-cored samples were quantified. ⺠Digital image analysis was conducted to examine the characteristics of microcracks. ⺠The volume of stress-induced microcracks increased linearly with sampling depth. ⺠Transgranular microcracks could be an indicator of stress-induced core damage. ⺠Linear trend between in-situ stress and microcrack volumetric strain was established.
