What is it? |
|
|
|
GDS Unsaturated Triaxial Testing of Soil (UNSAT)
is an extension to traditional triaxial testing in that soils from
above the water table may be tested under conditions approaching the
in-situ stress state and degree of saturation or partial saturation.
All features and methods described in the GDS unsat upgrade
datasheet can be used to upgrade GDS triaxial testing systems to
enable the testing of unsaturated soil, or existing triaxial
equipment from other manufacturers may be modified. The required
changes to upgrade a typical GDS triaxial testing system consists of
software and hardware elements. Optional elements are made available
to add further rigour to the test procedures if this is required
(for example mid-plane suction probe, atmospheric pressure
transducer and local measurement of strain). |

- choice of different methods to suit
your testing requirements and budget
- developed in conjunction with HKUST,
specialists in unsaturated soil testing
- methods may be ‘mixed and matched’ to
create a custom system
- due to GDS’s knowledge of many
different unsaturated test methods, we can objectively advise
customers on the best method for their test requirements. We are
not limited to a single solution.
