Subject of the contribution is to obtain new information about the fracture behavior of cementations building materials in the wedge splitting test (WST). Particularly, the paper investigates the influence of the own wedge splitting specimen weight, that represents a portion of the reaction of the bottom support of the specimen, on the fracture parameters via tools of the two-parameter fracture mechanics. In the end it is presented the suggestion when it is possible not to take the own weight of wedge splitting specimen into account.
