In a consolidated drained test the sample is consolidated and sheared in compression with drainage. The rate of axial deformation is kept constant, i.e. is strain controlled. The idea is that the test allows the sample and the pore pressures to fully consolidate (i.e. adjust) to the surrounding stresses. The test may take a long time to allow the sample to adjust, in particular low permeability samples need a long time to drain and adjust strain to stress level
What else can I help you with?
What is triaxial stress?
That is stress in three dimensions. Biaxial stress is in two dimensions. Triaxial stress has normal and shear stresses along each of three planes. Most beams can be analyzed with uniaxial stress; plates with biaxial; solids with triaxial
What are the difference between result obtained from ultrasonic test and triaxial test?
Triaxial testing will yield static strength properties of the material while ultrasonic measurements will give dynamic strength properties. The two can be related to each other by using various relationships between Young's Modulus, Bulk Modulus, Shear Modulus and Poisson's ratio. Static results should be lower than the dynamic results.
What is Stand alone results and consolidated results?
standalone results = results of the parent company alone & consolidated results = results of the parent company + its subsidiaries
How were the fens drained?
with pipes lot of them
How do the procedures used in subsoil investigation provide information for the design of substructures?
Subsoil investigations provide a clear idea of the type of soil you have in the area you are building on. There are a few tests that are conducted to show this: - Moisture content- Atterberg limits- Sieve Analysis- Triaxial Compression Test- Consolidation test- Bulk density- Dry density- Specific gravity- Chemical testsThese will all show the Architect what materials he will need to build on this land and the type of foundation to use to stop the building from sloping or sinking into the ground
Differences between triaxial test and shear box test?
Shear box tests are generally suitable for cohensionless soil except fine sand and silt whereas triaxial test is suitable for all types of soils. Pressure changes and volume changes can be measured directly in triaxial test which is not possible in shear box test. Pore water pressure can be measured in the case of triaxial test which is not possible in direct shear test. Triaxial machine is more adaptable. The stress distribution across the soil sample in the failure plane is more uniform in triaxial test. The complete state of stress is known at all intermediate stages up to failure during the triaxial test whereas only the stress at failure are known in the direct shear test. In triaxial test, there is complete control over the drainage conditions, where control of drainage conditions is very difficult in shear box test.
Which of the following is an example of a triaxial joint?
Ball-and-socket joint is an example of triaxial (or multiaxial) joint.
