Home Test Methods Soil Testing Axial Compression Soil Test Equipment Axial Compression Soil Test Equipment An axial compression test determines the behaviour of geo-materials when the major load is applied in the axial direction. The specimen load and displacement is recorded while the specimen is compressed. Please note: Some apparatus may require additional components or software modules to perform certain tests. The following soil test equipment can perform the Axial Compression soil test:- Unsaturated Back Pressured Shear Box for axial compression soil test 1000kN (1MN) / 2000kN (2MN) Static Compression Only Loadframe for axial compression soil test Environmental Triaxial Testing System for axial compression soil test Hydraulic Load Frames for Rock for axial compression soil test Variable Direction Dynamic Cyclic Simple Shear for axial compression soil test GDS Large Automated Direct Shear System (300mm) for axial compression soil test Dynamic Back Pressure Shearbox for axial compression soil test Back Pressure Shearbox - High Pressure for axial compression soil test Interface Shear Tester for axial compression soil test Environmental Triaxial Automated System for axial compression soil test GDS Small-Strain Hollow Cylinder Apparatus for axial compression soil test GDS Automatic Oedometer System for axial compression soil test GDS Shearbase System for axial compression soil test GDS Back Pressured Shear Box for axial compression soil test GDS Electro-Mechanical Dynamic Cyclic Simple Shear for axial compression soil test GDS Constant Rate of Strain Cell (CRS in Load Frame type) for axial compression soil test GDS Consolidation Testing System (Rowe and Barden Type) for axial compression soil test GDS True Triaxial Apparatus for axial compression soil test GDS Large Diameter Cyclic Triaxial Testing System for axial compression soil test Advanced Dynamic Triaxial Testing System for axial compression soil test GDS Enterprise Level Dynamic Triaxial Testing System for axial compression soil test Hydraulic Load Frames for Soil for axial compression soil test Virtual Infinite Stiffness Load Frames for axial compression soil test Triaxial Automated System (Load Frame type) for axial compression soil test Triaxial Testing System (Automated Stress Path type) for axial compression soil test
