Abstract：The tensile and shear failures of rock subjected to high water pressure were studied with the fracture mechanics. For the tensile failure caused by high water pressure，a method was proposed to calculate the stress intensity factors of two symmetric radial cracks emanating from a pressurized borehole. The fracture initiation criterion under the tensile-shear stress condition and the equations for the critical water pressure and the fracture initiation angle were derived. The influence of the perforation angle and length，the radius of the borehole and the difference of the principal stress on the critical water pressure and fracture initiation angle of two symmetrical cracks were analyzed according to the proposed method. The results show that the theoretical calculated critical water pressure and fracture initiation angle are in good agreement with the experimental results. The parameter analysis indicates that the critical water pressure decreases with the increase of the perforation length and the borehole radius. For the shear failure of rock subjected to high water pressure，the shear fracture criterion of both open and closed cracks under the compression-shear stress state was derived considering the effect of non-singular stress component. Finally，the explicit solution for critical water pressure of shear failure under the condition of compression-shear stress state was proposed.
