Triaxial Test Apparatus
In a Triaxial shear test, stress is applied to a sample of the material being tested in a way, which results in stresses along one axis being different from the stresses in perpendicular directions.
This is typically achieved by placing the sample between two parallel platens, which apply stress in one (usually vertical) direction, and applying fluid pressure to the specimen to apply stress in the perpendicular directions.
This is done by our testing apparatus which allows application of different levels of stress in each of three orthogonal directions X, Y, Z Axis are discussed below, under “True Triaxial test”.)
The application of different compressive stresses in the test apparatus causes shear stress to develop in the sample; the loads can be increased and deflections monitored until failure of the sample.
From the Triaxial test data, it is possible to extract fundamental material parameters about the sample, including its angle of shearing resistance, apparent cohesion, and dilatancy angle.
