The multi-crack initiation criterion is established based on the ratio of maximum tension-shear SIF to predict crack initiation angle, load, and mechanism. The results show that multi-crack always initiates in Mode Ⅰ and the vertical spacing is better not to be times of half crack-length for crack-arrest, which is in good agreement with test results of the red-sandstone cube specimens with three parallel cracks under uniaxial compression.
