Geotechnical Testing Equipment and Accessories
Consolidation
1-D Consolidation
Consolidation is the gradual reduction of volume of soil due to drainage of some of its pore fluid (generally water). Consolidation continues until all the excess pore water pressure that was generated by an increase in total stress is completely dissipated.
Direct/Residual Shear
Direct & Residual Shear
The direct Shear test is one of the most commonly used tests in geotechnical engineering in order to determine the shear strength of the specimen. In this test, intact or remolded specimens are normally loaded and sheared along an imposed shear plane. Cohesive specimens could be consolidated before shearing.
Triaxial
Triaxial Chamber
The triaxial test is one of the most commonly used tests in Geotechnical engineering in order to determine the shear strength of specimens under different conditions. Orvalis (TM)’s new low-profile Triaxial chambers are designed to accommodate a wide range of loading frames. With minimum tubing, these chambers are specially designed for sensitive stress path and tests at which volume change measurement plays an important role.
