Abstract
The paper considers the capabilities of well-known laboratory facilities for hydraulic fracturing modeling under the true triaxial loading conditions. Of greatest interest are the stands that allow you to create a crack in large cubic samples with an edge length of 200 mm or more. In this case, it is possible to reduce the influence of edge effects from the boundaries of the sample on the propagation path of the discontinuity. The review includes research results obtained using 10 different facilities located in major scientific centers.
