Three point bending tests were conducted to investigate the effect of the chemical and wet environments on the fracture toughness of Inada granite and Kimachi sandstone.The new testing method was also suggested here so that the chemical solution or water constantly can exist at the crack tip during the tests.The fracture toughness was evaluated by both ISRM suggested method and AE(Acoustic Emission)technique・In AE technique,AE hypocenter distribution was determined to pinpoint the crack front and process zone,then stres$intensity factor was calculated using the crack length evaluated by AE hypocenters distribution、 Fracture toughness of the granite,in which significant decrease has not been reported before even in wet condition,dropped 25%in wet condition when compared to the one in dry condition,and also37%down in Kimachi sandstone.The AE behaviors in wet condition implys that the fracture mechanism could be challged from brittle manner to possibly ductile one.
