| Abstract | The Computer-Controlled Triaxial Apparatus was introduced. A desktop computer was linked
to a triaxial cell that had adjustable speed motor to perform strain-controlled test and had pressure
cylinder to perform stress-controlled test. The system used stepper motors and air pressure
regulators to control vertical stress, horizontal stress, and pore pressure independently. Each
element used was described and also its assembling. The operation of the system was elucidated.
System evaluation was made by comparing the results of automated strain-controlled K0
consolidation with incremental stress K0 consolidation. Variation of normalized prope1ties of soft
Bangkok clay with vertical consolidation stress was studied by performing some CK0 UC tests at
different vertical consolidation stress. |
