Read More How GDS’ Triaxial Testing Apparatus Strengthens the Collaboration between Laboratory Testing and Numerical Modelling Tuesday, January 30, 2018 GEOTEKO’s laboratory works closely with their numerical computation and modelling department, as well as with external clients performing similar calculations. This collaborative approach has many benefits for the laboratory and for those who use the laboratory test results. Read how the acquisition of GDS' Triaxial Automated Apparatus (GDSTAS) benefited this relationship. GDSTAS Read More GDSVIS undergoes recent transformation to incorporate a new design and the latest software Monday, January 22, 2018 GDS’ Virtual infinite stiffness load frames (GDSVIS) have undergone a recent transformation to incorporate a new design and the latest software from GDS. The GDSVIS is the premier load frame in the GDS range with load ranges of 100, 250, 400 and 500kN. GDSVIS Read More GDS Bender Elements Analysis Tool Licence for 2018 Thursday, December 14, 2017 GDSBES Read More Geoteko Case Study Using GDS Hall Effect Local Strain Transducers Tuesday, November 14, 2017 GEOTEKO were required to carry out a series of triaxial tests for one of its clients to assess the samples susceptibility to liquefaction. The void ratio is one of the most important factors that affect the liquefacion phenomenon, therefore the exact determination of this parameter is very important for such tests. It is necessary to monitor the samples void ratio changes at each stage of the test.
