This paper summarises the results of an investigation on the influence of flaw inclination on crack initiation and propagation for molded gypsum specimens under compression. Molded gypsum specimens with 1.3mm wide flaws of inclinations 75°, 80°, 85° and 90° were tested. Uniaxial compression was cond...
