In mining and tunneling operation,cracks propagation,existing fissures into a rock mass is most commonprocess.This process of widening joints into a rock mass can be simulated into matrix formation.This study has been done toto overcome this problem by postulating this crack, fissures pattern into various matrix forms into cylindrical rock specimen(sandstone) using triaxial test system to obtained true strength characteristics viz. shear parameters and modulus ofelasticity. The paper contains comparison of different matrix pattern. The results were also compared with to those forcorresponding intact cylindrical rock specimens. The results indicate that intact specimen delivers more strength and highermodulus of elasticity as compared to various matrix patterns.
