Objective To deepen the understanding of the erosion mechanism of Pisha sandstone. Methods By conducting consolidation undrained triaxial tests on remolded soil with different bedding structures [R, W, WR, WR(45°), WRW, WRW(45°), RWR, RWR(45°)], the influence of bedding structures on the deformation, failure, elastic parameters, and plastic parameters of Pisha sandstone was investigated. Results 1) The failure patterns were mainly splitting and bulging, and a distinct through-going shear rupture zone was observed when the bedding structure was WRW (45°). 2) The influence of bedding structure on shear strength was mainly reflected in cohesion, with no significant influence on the internal friction angle. For both red and white Pisha sandstone, cohesion decreased under different bedding structures and gradually declined with an increasing number of bedding layers. The cohesion of W specimens was 52.39% higher than that of WR specimens, the cohesion of WR specimens was 30.23% higher than that of RWR specimens, and the cohesion of WR specimens was 13.02% higher than that of WR (45°) specimens. 3) The initial tangent modulus of Pisha sandstone decreased when the bedding structure changed from horizontal to inclined (45°), while the failure ratio increased with this change. Conclusion Pisha sandstone exhibits two main failure patterns: splitting failure under low confining pressures (100, and 200 kPa) and inclined bedding structures, and bulging failure under high confining pressure of 300 kPa. Increases in bedding inclination and quantity led to decreases in cohesion and initial tangent modulus, along with an increase in the failure ratio. The findings provide scientific reference and theoretical support for deepening the understanding of the erosion mechanism of Pisha sandstone.
