<p>The Vane Shear Set provides a rapid check of the stability of foundations, excavations and trenches in clay.</p>
<p>The H-4220F single-mass (10.1 lbs.), foundation DCP is used to estimate the shear strength of weak soil with a CBR less than 20 and psf less than 4000. It can be used to assess the in-place strength of undisturbed soil and/or compacted materials. It can ...
<p>The Fall Cone apparatus provides a rapid, simple and accurate method for determining the undrained shear strength and the sensitivity of both undisturbed and remoulded clays. The relationship between the depth of penetration of the fall cone and the undrained ...
The GDS Combined Advanced Dynamic Cyclic Simple Shear (ADVDCSS) testing system is a new innovation by GDS in that it combines Simple shear and Triaxial testing without the use of a separate loadframe. The ADVDCSS uses our established technology of Electro-Mechanical ...
The GDS Shearbase System (GDSSS) is an electro-mechanical shear testing device that comes in two options, a simple shear or direct shear apparatus. The benefit of the new apparatus is that it can be upgraded to perform both tests. This can take place at the ...
GDS produce an extensive range of triaxial cells in order to satisfy the complex range of tests required by today’s modern geotechnical laboratories (see Fig. 1 for a typical triaxial cell schematic). Traditional passive triaxial cells (known as passive due ...
The GDS Virtual Infinite Stiffness Loading System (GDSVIS) is the loading frame/compression machine that you would expect from GDS. It has feedback control and continuous displays of axial load and platen displacement, USB computer interface and, exclusive ...
<p>The Geovane is a hand-held instrument used for determining soil shear strength providing the reading in kPa. The device is simple to use. A 19mm vane blade is screwed into the base of the Geovane and the vane is pushed into the soil. Simply rotate the Geovane ...
GDS have been working with many leading research and commercial industries around the world using the High pressure triaxial system. Now the high pressure environmental triaxial system (HPETAS) opens up an even bigger range of testing possibilities. The High ...
<p>The HTC triaxial cell consists of a hollow steel cylinder with threaded removable ends. A urethane rubber sleeve incorporating U-shaped seals to form a pressurization chamber for the hydraulic fluid is mounted within the cell. Inside the cell is installed ...
