Loading Frame for Triaxial Test

On 27th September, the loading frame for triaxial test is assembled and there will be two more loading frames to be added. This is the first loading frame to perform a basic triaxial test of CD or CU, and also to perform a triaxial test on unsaturated soil.

The loading frame is entirely machined and constructed by the machine shop of FES/UTAR campus.

Two more loading frames are to used 1) to perform a cyclic loading test on residual soil, and 2) to perform a torsional hollow cylinder test on residual soil.

Altogether three UTAR students of civil engineering will work on these to conduct their FYP researches.

Those interested in these facilities, please send your comments to "utar.earthquake@gmail.com".
