Triaxial compression tests

In this study, a series of Consolidated–Undrained triaxial compression tests were conducted at a constant axial strain rate, with a small unloading and reloading during the monotonic loading to investigate the effect of various densities and curing times on the mechanical properties of Liquefied Stabilized Soil (LSS).

The paper presents a theory of the “plane of weakness” modelling applied to a deviated borehole that penetrated through laminated shale containing numerous parallel weakness planes. The obtained results show that the strength envelope for anisotropic rock is characterised by a U-shaped reduction in strength for failure along the weakness plane, confining pressure from 20 MPa to 80 MPa whithout any change in the failure mechanism of the shale.

A typical geotechnical engineering project begins with a site investigation of soil and bedrock on and below an area of interest to determine their engineering properties including how they will interact with, on or in a proposed construction. Examining of soil properties, especially in shear stress, is indispensable to understanding of the area in or on which the construction will take place. There are two main kinds of the test: direct shear test and triaxial test.
