Custom Soil Dynamic Triaxial Test Apparatus Manufacturers, Suppliers

The Dynamic Triaxial Test Apparatus is an advanced geotechnical testing equipment used to study the stress-strain characteristics, strength deformation, and liquefaction properties of soil under dynamic loads such as earthquakes, traffic vibrations, mechanical vibrations, etc. It combines the static loading function and dynamic loading system of traditional triaxial apparatus, and can simulate the dynamic response of soil under complex stress conditions.

 

Experimental principle

Simulate the mechanical behavior of soil under earthquake or vibration loads:

Liquefaction potential assessment: Saturated sandy soil experiences an increase in pore water pressure under cyclic shear, leading to a reduction in effective stress to zero (liquefaction).

Dynamic modulus to damping ratio: Calculate the dynamic deformation characteristics of soil through hysteresis curves.

Dynamic strength analysis: Determine the failure stress threshold of soil under dynamic loads.
