    The document outlines procedures for conducting an unconsolidated undrained triaxial shear test on a soil specimen, including preparing cylindrical specimens, loading the specimen in a triaxial cell, calculating stress and strain values during testing, and reporting test results including dimensions, densities, stresses, strains, and failure properties. The test is intended to evaluate the shear strength of a soil without measuring pore water pressures.

    TITLE TRIAXIAL SHEAR TEST(UU)without measurement of pore pressure

    (A) Preparation of Specimens:

    1. The object of sample preparation is to produce cylindrical specimens of height


    twice the specimen diameter with plane ends normal to the axis and with the
    minimum change of the soil structure and moisture content.
    2. The extruder shall be used to push the sample through the tube so that the other
    end may be cut normal to the axis and finally smoothed with the metal straight
    edge.
    3. During this operation the sample tube shall be held vertical.

    Precautions shall be taken to prevent adhesion between the soil and the extruder,
    for example, by interposing oiled paper discs or lightly oiling the face of the
    extruder
    (B) Procedure:
    1. The specimen shall be placed centrally on the pedestal of the triaxial cell.
    2. The operating fluid shall be admitted to the cell and the pressure raised to the
    desired value.
    3. The loading machine shall be adjusted to bring the loading ram a short distance
    away from the seat on the top cap of the specimen and the initial reading of the
    load measuring gauge shall be recorded.
    4. The loading machine shall then be further adjusted to bring the loading ram just in
    contract with the seat on the top cap of the specimen and the initial reading of the
    gauge measuring the axial compression of the specimen shall be recorded.
    5. A rate of axial compression shall be selected such that failure is produced within a
    period of approximately 5 to 15 minutes.
    6. The test shall be continued until the maximum value of the stress has been passed
    or until an axial strain of 20 percent has been reached.
    7. The specimen shall then be unloaded and the final reading of the load measuring

    gauge shall be recorded as a check on the initial reading.


    8. The specimen shall be weighed and samples for the determination of the moisture
    content of the specimen shall be taken .
    9. If there is a moisture change in the specimen it should be recorded and discretion
    used with regard to acceptability of the test.
    (C) Calculations :
    1 The area of the specimen normal to its axis at any stage of the test shall be computed
    on the assumption that the sample deforms as aright cylinder. Area at any strain is
    given by:
    A0
    A
    1 e
    A0 = initial area of the specimen normal to the axis,
    e = (L0 – L) L0
    L0 = initial length of the specimen, and
    L = length of the specimen at the state of test at which area is to be determined.

    2 The principal stress difference (σ1 – σ2) for any stage of the test shall be determined
    by dividing the additional axial load by the corresponding area A.

    A correction to allow for the restraining effect of the rubber membrane shall be
    made as given below

    1 
    4M
    Correction = D

    Where,

    M = the compression modulus of the rubber membrane in kg/cm of width


    ε = the axial strain at the maximum principal stress different, and
    D = initial diameter of the sample in cm.
    The value of the correction calculated shall be deducted from the measured maximum
    principal stress difference to give the corrected value of the maximum principal stress
    different.

    (D) Reporting of Results :

    1 The dimensions of each test specimen the bulk density, the moisture content, the cell
    pressure, the value of the maximum principal stress difference (σ1 – σ3), and the
    corresponding strain and time to failure and the rate of strain and time to failure
    and the rate of strain at which the test was conducted shall be reported.
