What is TRIAXIAL TESTING ? Part 1of 3 Published on the GDS website ONE: INTRODUCTION TO TRIAXIAL TESTINGP repared by Dr Sean Rees, Geotechnical Specialist at GDS InstrumentsOverview: This three part series has been written to introduce one of the most versatile tests in the geotechnical laboratory the TRIAXIAL test. The papers provide a detailed INTRODUCTION to the subject of TRIAXIAL TESTING , including the many variations available for assessing soil response across a range of engineering applications. The series is split into the following topics:1. INTRODUCTION to TRIAXIAL Advanced TRIAXIAL TESTING (Part 2 is due to be released May 2013 - visit for more info).
INTRODUCTION This paper provides an introduction to the triaxial test, explaining why the test is performed, the stress state of a tested soil, required test system components, and the general procedure for running a triaxial test. It assumes a basic knowledge of soil mechanics – for those readers unfamiliar with some terms in this paper, it
