10kN/30kN Triaxial Test Apparatus

Triaxial testing is a sort of solid material shear test that is carried out with the specimen being confined by pressures from all sides. In a fluid chamber, restricting pressures are created to mimic stresses from the soil materials nearby. The behavior of the materials in place can then be more clearly seen as a result. For measuring shear strength on soil samples, triaxial test apparatus is employed. In geotechnical engineering, triaxial shear strength is one of the most adaptable soil strength tests. It is more intricate than a direct shear test and allows for the control of specimen stresses in perpendicular directions. Several deformable solids, particularly soil (e.g., sand, clay), rock, and other granular materials or powders, can have their mechanical properties measured using a triaxial shear test.
