Summary/Abstract: The paper presents the results of mechanical laboratory tests of two types of sandstone, white and gray, obtained from two stone quarries in Poland. Compression tests of cubic samples, three-point bending tests, bending of notched beams and quasi-Brazilian test were performed. Basing on these tests, the values of compressive strength, tensile strength, Young's modulus and Poisson's ratio were determined. From the bending test of notched beams, a critical stress intensity factor in mode I and critical energy release rate was determined. These values are intended to be used as parameters of numerical (FEM) model to simulate the pull-out test of an anchor pulled out from the rock surface.
