Determination of the consolidated drained shear strength of a soil material in direct shear. Two different models of standard shear strength machines are available: electromechanical and digital, plus the pneumatic automatic model in which the application of the vertical load is actuated by an advanced pneumatic system. Motorised direct residual shear machine complete with test timer.
Linear Shinkage mould
Filled with the soil under test, the resulting decrease of length of the specimen measured is expressed as the linear shrinkage.
Specific Gravity
Specific Gravity bottles
Used to determine the specific gravity of fine soils. Glass bottle complete with capillary vent stopper.
Specific Gravity
Large pyknometer
Used for the determination of specific gravity of sands and fine aggregate. It consists of a glass jar 1 litre capacity, complete with metal cone.
Triaxial
Determine the stress-strain relation carried out with triaxial test where undisturb soil specimen are subjected to different stress levels and drainage conditions to similate actual site environment.
Unconfined Compression
Used for unconfined compressive strength of adhensive soil in undisturbed and remoulded conditions, using either strain or stress controlled application of the test load.
