fr L'essai de résistance à la traction d'une éprouvette de roche dite «essai brésilien» est un essai de traction indirect. L'échantillon cylindrique de roche est placé à l'horizontale entre les plateaux d'une presse et la charge est augmentée jusqu'à la rupture qui apparaît sous forme de fendage le long du diamètre vertical du cylindre.
