Home Test Methods Soil Testing Stepped Loading Soil Test Equipment Stepped Loading Soil Test Equipment Stepped Loading provides a means to increase the specimen axial load, whilst maintaining a constant back pressure and measuring the back (pore) volume change. Please note: Some apparatus may require additional components or software modules to perform certain tests. The following soil test equipment can perform the Stepped Loading soil test:- Unsaturated Back Pressured Shear Box for stepped loading soil test Hydraulic Load Frames for Rock for stepped loading soil test 1000kN (1MN) / 2000kN (2MN) Static Compression Only Loadframe for stepped loading soil test GDS Large Automated Direct Shear System (300mm) for stepped loading soil test GDS Constant Rate of Strain Cell (CRS in Load Frame type) for stepped loading soil test GDS Consolidation Testing System (Rowe and Barden Type) for stepped loading soil test GDS Shearbase System for stepped loading soil test GDS Electro-Mechanical Dynamic Cyclic Simple Shear for stepped loading soil test Environmental Triaxial Testing System for stepped loading soil test Variable Direction Dynamic Cyclic Simple Shear for stepped loading soil test Dynamic Back Pressure Shearbox for stepped loading soil test Back Pressure Shearbox - High Pressure for stepped loading soil test Interface Shear Tester for stepped loading soil test Environmental Triaxial Automated System for stepped loading soil test GDS Small-Strain Hollow Cylinder Apparatus for stepped loading soil test GDS Back Pressured Shear Box for stepped loading soil test GDS True Triaxial Apparatus for stepped loading soil test GDS Large Diameter Cyclic Triaxial Testing System for stepped loading soil test Advanced Dynamic Triaxial Testing System for stepped loading soil test GDS Enterprise Level Dynamic Triaxial Testing System for stepped loading soil test Hydraulic Load Frames for Soil for stepped loading soil test Virtual Infinite Stiffness Load Frames for stepped loading soil test Triaxial Automated System (Load Frame type) for stepped loading soil test Triaxial Testing System (Automated Stress Path type) for stepped loading soil test GDS Automatic Oedometer System for stepped loading soil test
