Info

Background • What is a Triaxial test • A triaxial test tests the shear strength of material. The principal behind the test is that axial load can be different from the shear load, allowing one to measure the stress‐strain relationship • There are three types of triaxial test: Unsaturated; Saturated drained; and Saturated undrained. For this project we were only searching for the unsaturated and the saturated drained results. The figure to the left depicts the loading applied during a triaxial test.
Research • In this project there were no experiments performed to compile the data. Rather the data was extracted from published articles contained in the American Society for Civil Engineers database. • The searches focused on finding any articles that contained stressstrain relationship data that was compiled using the accepted triaxial tests. • Any relevant graphs or charts were filed away to be analyzed later.
