Abstract
•Wetting and drying cycles influencing rock fracture toughness and tensile strength is investigated.•It still presents a good linear relationship between KIC and σt of sandstone after cyclic wetting and drying.•The degradation degree of KIC is always larger than that of σt.•The crack propagation radius decreases with increasing number of wetting–drying cycles.
