The GDS Hydraulic Axial/Radial Loading Frame (GDSHLF)
can be synchronised with the cell pressure (radial stress) to give
an advanced capability of dynamic stress paths. A number of optional
advanced transducers can be added to the standard system to give
measurement of local axial strains and mid-plane pore pressures.

What are its
uses
The GDSHLF 10 Hz/20, 40, 60 or 100kN dynamic triaxial testing system
consists of a dynamic load frame with 20, 40, 60 or 100kN load
capacity and +/- 50 mm stroke capability. The load frame contains a
dynamic cell pressure actuator built into the base. To give the very
advanced capability of dynamic stress paths, the axial
force/displacement can be synchronised with the cell pressure
(radial stress). Also, the system is capable of both
dynamic tests and quasi-static (low speed/creep) tests. These
outstanding features, coupled with GDSLAB control and data
acquisition software, GDS digital pressure controllers, and the GDS
data acquisition system, give you unlimited possibilities in
conventional and advanced PC-controlled triaxial testing of soil and
rock.
