  2. Direct shear test - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Direct_shear_test

    A direct shear test machine is required to perform the test. The test using the direct shear machine determines the consolidated drained shear strength of a soil material in direct shear. [4] The advantages of the direct shear test [5] over other shear tests are the simplicity of setup and equipment used, and the ability to test under differing ...

  3. Triaxial shear test - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Triaxial_shear_test

    Triaxial apparatus with sample attached ready for testing. In materials science, a triaxial shear test is a common method to measure the mechanical properties of many deformable solids, especially soil (e.g., sand, clay) and rock, and other granular materials or powders.

  4. Shear vane test - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shear_vane_test

    The shear vane test is a method of measuring the undrained shear strength of a cohesive soil. The test is carried out with equipment consisting of a rod with vanes mounted to it that is inserted into the ground and rotated. A gauge on the top of the rod measures the torque required to cause failure of the soil and provides a conversion to shear ...

  5. Soil liquefaction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soil_liquefaction

    A typical reference strain for the approximate occurrence of zero effective stress is 5% double amplitude shear strain. This is a soil test-based definition, usually performed via cyclic triaxial, cyclic direct simple shear, or cyclic torsional shear type apparatus. These tests are performed to determine a soil's resistance to liquefaction by ...

  6. Geotechnical investigation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geotechnical_investigation

    Triaxial shear tests This is a type of test that is used to determine the shear strength properties of a soil. It can simulate the confining pressure a soil would see deep into the ground. It can also simulate drained and undrained conditions. Unconfined compression test ASTM D2166. This test compresses a soil sample to measure its strength.

  7. Tilt test (geotechnical engineering) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tilt_test_(Geotechnical...

    Tilt test on a fitting discontinuity. In geomechanics, a tilt test is a simple test to estimate the shear strength parameters of a discontinuity. [1] [2] Two pieces of rock containing a discontinuity are held in hand or mounted in test equipment with the discontinuity horizontal. The sample is slowly tilted until the top block moves.
