Overview: The GDS Combined Advanced Dynamic
Cyclic Simple Shear (ADVDCSS) is a testing system that can be used for dynamic
cyclic simple shear and dynamic triaxial testing. The ADVDCSS allows the
principal stress direction to continuously rotate through 90 degrees, giving
the ability to simulate the stress states common to many geotechnical problems,
including earthquake loading. Then, by moving the machine into ‘triaxial mode’
and installing the longer cell wall, the device may be used for dynamic and
static triaxial tests.
Tests that can be Performed: Consolidated
drained (CD) triaxial, consolidated undrained (CU) triaxial, consolidation
(Triaxial), cyclic loading of samples under either load or strain, slow cyclic
testing, quasi-static (low speed/creep) tests, stress paths, user defined
waveforms, cyclic simple shear, simple shear, K-zero, permeability and simple
shear.
Upgrade Options: Bender element testing,
unsaturated testing (Method A & D) and to local strain measurement
(triaxial).
