The document shows experimental data on the relationship between axial strain, deviatoric stress, and volumetric strain for sandstone samples under different confining stresses. As the confining stress increases from 2000 psf to 7000 psf, the deviatoric stress and volumetric strain values both increase at higher rates with increasing axial strain. The deviatoric stress reaches a maximum of around 18,000 psf and the volumetric strain reaches around 4% for the highest confining stress of 7000 psf and axial strain of 20%.
