GDS today published its 3rd of 3 papers on Triaxial Testing. This paper presents the dynamic cyclic triaxial testing of soils in the laboratory. It briefly discusses why dynamic tests are required, the soil parameters that may be obtained, the differences between static and dynamic triaxial systems, the general method for conducting a dynamic cyclic test, and a new development relating to dynamic cyclic triaxial apparatuses.
