Shear tests under normal unloading were carried out to further study the shear mechanical behavior of marlstone containing parallel fissures. The results reveal that the failure on the rock bridge is tensile failure except for the limited extrusion failure at the tip of the prefabricated fissure. The failure on both sides is generally tensile-shear mixed failure, in which the tensile failure is mainly concentrated in the middle of both sides. In general, it can be summarized as a tensile-shear failure mode of STS-T-STS (S means shear failure, T means tension failure). The failure normal stress of the specimens gradually increases and then decreases with the increase of the fissure inclination, increases with an increase in the initial normal/shear stress, and decreases with the increase of the unloading rate. Strong dilation occurred in the shear process of the specimens, which shows obvious arch effect. The variation law of dilatancy deformation and horizontal deformation in the stage of normal stress unloading is just opposite to that of the failure normal stress. The increasing effect of high shear stress on shear deformation is greater than that of dilatancy deformation, while the inhibiting effect of high normal stress on dilatancy deformation is greater than that of the shear deformation.
