New direct shear box for testing on fractured material<br />

<br />

<br />

<br />

<br />

For testing of intact or fractured rock<br />

Measure direct shear strength, friction and<br />

deformation behavior<br />

Conductivity of fracture during normal<br />

stress and shear at high stresses<br />

Applications related to CO2 storage and<br />

testing of shale gas<br />

Main Features<br />

• Max specimen dimensions 150x150x300 mm.<br />

• Max shear force: 250 kN<br />

• Max shear displacement: 100 mm<br />

• Max normal force: 500 kN<br />

• Max pore pressure: 2 MPa<br />

• Max flow gradient: 4 MPa<br />

• Future option for ultrasonic velocity transducers<br />
