The combination of the dipping effect and hydromechanical (H-M) coupling effect can easily lead to water inrush disasters in water-rich roadways with different dip angles in coal mines. Therefore, H-M coupling tests of bedded sandstones under identical osmotic pressure and various confining pressures were conducted. Then, the evolution curves of stress-strain, permeability and damage, macro- and mesoscopic failure characteristics were obtained. Subsequently, the mechanical behaviour was characterized, and finally the failure mechanism was revealed. The results showed that: (1) The failure of the sandstone with the bedding angle of 45 degrees or 60 degrees was the structure-dominant type, while that with the bedding angle of 0 degrees, 30 degrees or 90 degrees was the force-dominant type. (2) When the bedding angle was in the range of (0 degrees, 30 degrees) or (45 degrees, 90 degrees), the confining pressure played a dominant role in influencing the peak strength. However, within bE(30 degrees, 45 degrees), the bedding effect played a dominant role in the peak strength. (3) With the increase in bedding angle, the cohesion increased first, then decreased and finally increased, while the internal friction angle was the opposite. (4) When the bedding angle was 0 degrees or 30 degrees, the water wedging effect and the bedding buckling effect would lead to the forking or converging shear failure. When the bedding angle was 45 degrees or 60 degrees, the sliding friction effect would lead to the shear slipping failure. When the bedding angle was 90 degrees, the combination of the bedding buckling effect and shear effect would lead to the mixed tension-shear failure. The above conclusions obtained are helpful for the prevention of water inrush disasters in water-rich roadways with different dips in coal mines.
