Abstract
An unusually very weak (ISRM, 1981) brittle analog sandstone is developed. Brittle analog sandstone specimens are prepared, conforming to mortar mixing terminology. Base mix constituents used are Type I/II Portland cement, F-75 Ottawa sand, and distilled water. The developed sedimentary rock is isotropic, homogenous, and densely compacted. Engineering treatments to the mixture were found to improve the brittleness.
