Qla. List and explain the 2 ways axial srtress can be applied through a vertical loading ram to cause
failure in a specimen during triaxial test.
Qlb. Sketch neatly and label a direct shear test box

Expert Solution

Step 1

1(a)

The two ways axial stress can be applied are:

Application of dead weight:.

The dead weight are applied on the ram in equal increments until the specimen fails. The dead weight comes in different range ranging from 5 lb to 100 lb and more.

The weight is applied gradually and the axial deformation is measured with the help of a ring or load cell attached to the ram.

Application by hydraulic loading press.

The hydraulic loading press applies in the load on the ram and is increased in equal increments and the axial deformation resulting from the applied load is measured with the help of a dial gauge.
