4 The triaxial test: Introduction Most widely used shear strength test and is suitable for all types of soil. A cylindrical specimen, generally L/D = 2 is used for the test, and stresses are applied under conditions of axial symmetry. Typical specimen diameters are 38mm and 100mm Axial stress Equal all round pressure Stress system in triaxial test
5 The triaxial test: Components Loading ram Perspex cell Porous discs Pressure supply to cell Latex sheet Soil sample To pore pressure measuring device
6 The triaxial test: Mechanism Intermediate principal stress σ 2 must be equal to major σ 1 or minor σ 3 stress, so as to facilitate representation of stress state in two dimensional Mohr s circle. A cylindrical specimen is placed inside Perspex cell filled with water. The specimen is covered with latex sheet so as to avoid direct contact with water. The specimen is loaded initially by surrounding water pressure so as to achieve isotropic loading conditions. A deviatoric stress is then applied gradually on the sample with the help of Ram axially. A duct at the bottom of the sample allows water to pass through the sample which is further monitored, or conversely, in some cases, no drainage is allowed.
7 The triaxial test: Mechanism Fine grained soil can stand the mould without any support But the coarse grained soils samples have to kept in some supporting mould until the application of negative pore pressure to the sample through drainage duct. So, u = u e (negative) σ a = σ r = 0 σ a = σ r = -u e where, σ a is the axial stress, σ r is the radial stress
8 The triaxial test: Mechanism If cell pressure increased to s cp, this isotropic pressure is taken entirely by the pore water. Thus pore pressure increases, but no change occurs in effective stresses. So, u i = σ cp + u e (negative) σ a σ a = σ r = σ cp σ r thus, σ a = σ r = -u e u u e = σ cp i.e. u = σ cp
9 Drainage conditions : Combinations in triaxial test Step 1 Step 2 Under all-around cell pressure σ c Shearing (loading) drainage valve condition drainage valve condition Open Closed Open Closed Consolidated sample Unconsolidated sample Drained loading Undrained loading CD CU UU
10 Drainage conditions : Combinations in triaxial test Unconfined Compressive test (UC) Unconsolidated Undrained test (UU) Consolidated Undrained test (CU) Applying back pressure: decreases cavitation, and reduction of voids. Consolidated Drained test (CD) Specimen is taken to failure with no confinement Specimen is taken to failure with no drainage permitted Drainage valve initially opened to allow pore pressure u i to dissipate to zero, and then closed so that specimen is taken to failure without any further drainage The drainage valve is initially opened to allow the pore pressure u i to dissipate to zero, and is kept open while the specimen is taken to failure at a sufficientlyslow rate.
11 Stresses and strains on a sample in the Triaxial compression test Axisymmetric condition, σ 2 = σ 3 or σ 2 = σ 3 ; ε 2 = ε 3 p = (σ 1 + 2σ 3 )/3 and p = (σ 1 + 2σ 3 )/3 p = p- u q = σ 1 - σ 3 ; q = σ 1 - σ 3 = (σ 1 - u) (σ 3 - u) = σ 1 - σ 3 Thus, q = q; Shear is unaffected by PWP. Deviator stress σ 1 - σ 3 = σ d = P/A Deviatoric strain ε d = 2/3( ε 1 - ε 3 ) Volumetric strain ε v = ε ε 3 Schematic of a Triaxial cell Axial total stress σ 1 = σ 3 + P/A Axial strain ε 1 = z/h o Radial strain ε r = r/r o
12 Consolidated- drained test (CD Test) σ = u + σ Step 1: At the end of consolidation σ V = σ V Drainage σ h 0 σ hc = σ hc Step 2: During axial stress increase σ V + σ σ V = σ V + σ = σ 1 Drainage σ hc 0 σ h = σ h = σ 3 Step 3: At failure σ VC + σ f σ Vf = σ V + σ f = σ 1f Drainage σ hc 0 σ hf = σ h = σ 3f

28 Stress paths during CU Test Stage1: Isotropic consolidation phase σ 1 = σ 1 = σ 3 = σ 3 ; σ 1 > 0; u = 0 (end of consolidation) p = p = ( σ σ 1 )/3 = σ 1 ; q = σ 1 - σ 3 = 0 q/ p = q/ p = 0 q = σ 1 -σ 3 σ 1 = σ 1 = σ 3 = σ 3 ESP Con. phase σ 1 = σ 3 + P/A σ 1 = σ 1 - u σ 3 = σ 1 u = 0 u TSP q/ p = 3 p = (σ 1 + 2σ 3 )/3 p, p 1 Shearing phase 3 p = σ 1 /3; q = σ 1 σ 3 = 0 u 0 σ 3 = σ 3 - u = - u

30 Stress conditions for the UU test The purpose of UU test is to determine the undrained shear strength of a saturated soil. Quick test (Neither during consolidation and shearing stages, excess PWP is allowed to drain).

32 Total stress path during UU Test Initial stage σ 1 = σ 3 ; u 0 p = σ 1, q= 0; q/ p = 0 q = σ 1 -σ 3 TSP σ 1 = σ 3 + P/A σ 3 u 0 Shearing phase σ 1 > 0 ; σ 3 = 0 p = σ 1 /3; q/ p = 3 3 p = σ 1 /3 ; q = σ 1 q/ p = 3 1 p = (σ 1 + 2σ 3 )/3 p
33 Unconfined compressive (UC) test To determine the un-drained shear strength of saturated clays quickly. No radial stress (σ 3 = 0) Deviator load is increased rapidly until the soil sample fails; Pore water can not drain from the soil; the soil sample is sheared at constant volume. σ 1 σ 3 = 0 (After
34 Stress conditions for the UC test
35 Total stress path during UC Test The effective stress path is unknown since PWP changes are not normally measured. If u is measured, it would be negative. Since σ 3 = 0, σ 3 = σ 3 - u = - u u must be ve because as σ 3 can not be ve (soils can not sustain tension). So σ 3 must be +ve. q = σ 1 -σ 3 TSP p = σ 1 /3; q/ p = p = (σ 1 + 2σ 3 )/3 p, p
