To investigate the tensile failure phenomenon of rock masses with filled natural defects, the mechanical behavior of 3D printed rock-like materials containing filled kinked fissures under uniaxial tension was identified. Different inclination angles of branch fissure were considered, and cement and gypsum slurry were selected as the infilling materials. It was found that filling materials enhanced the strength of the specimen, which presented to be cement filling > gypsum filling > no filling. The change of inclination angle of branch fissure had significant influence on the strength and failure mode of the specimen and the strength order was −135° > −45° > 90° and +45° > 90° > +135°. Two types of failure pattern, namely tip failure and non-tip failure, were observed in the experiment. Three types of newborn cracks were identified using a high-speed camera. The result achieved by using the digital image correlation technology indicated that different filling conditions led to the position change of high-strain zone. The displacement field of the filled specimen developed from being continuous to being discontinuous. Furthermore, the extended finite element method was adopted to simulate the filled and unfilled specimens, consistent with the experimental results. This study can provide a reliable reference for studying the tensile stress zones in rock exploration.
